Introduction[edit | edit source]
The skull consist of 8 cranial bones and 14 facial bones. The main function of the skull bones along with the surrounded meninges, is to protect the brain.[1]
Cranial bones[edit | edit source]
- Fontal bone
- Parietal bone (2)
- Temporal bone (2)
- Occipital bone
- Sphenoid bone
- Ethmoid bone[1]
Sutures[edit | edit source]
Coronal suture: Junction between the frontal and two parietal bones. The coronal suture lies in the coronal plane.
Sagittal suture: Junction between two parietal bones. The sagittal suture lies in the sagittal plane.
Squamous suture: Junction between the temporal and parietal bones.
Lambdoid suture: Junction between the parietal bones and the occipital bones.
Pterion: Junction of the frontal, parietal and temporal bones in the lateral aspect of the skull.
