The squamosal suture, or squamous suture, arches backward from the pterion and connects the temporal squama with the lower border of the parietal bone: this suture is continuous behind with the short, nearly horizontal parietomastoid suture, which unites the mastoid process of the temporal with the region of the mastoid angle of the parietal bone.

2023年10月30日 · The squamous suture is a paired bilateral cranial suture that connects the temporal and parietal bones. More specifically, it binds the squama of the temporal bone and with the inferior margin of the parietal bone.

2018年8月14日 · The squamosal or squamous suture is the cranial suture between the temporal and parietal bones bilaterally. From the pterion, it extends posteriorly, curves inferiorly and continues as the parietotemporal suture.

2024年2月13日 · During labor and birth, the sutures allow the skull bones to overlap on top of one another to fit through the birth canal. This protects the brain from being pressed on and damaged. The squamous suture acts as an expansion joint between the parietal and temporal bones.

2024年8月18日 · Skull sutures are fibrous joints with the periosteum externally and the outer layer of dura mater continuous over and under them. Their wavy appearance affords increased contact surface area between adjacent bones, supporting the strength of the joint. Named sutures divided by their general location include:

Learn about the anatomy of the skull bones and sutures as seen on CT images of the brain. The frontal, parietal, temporal and occipital bones are joined at the cranial sutures. The major sutures are the coronal suture, sagittal suture, lambdoid suture and squamosal sutures.

2023年8月26日 · The squamous suture is a large horizontal suture that curves inferiorly as it passes towards the posterior aspect of the skull. It extends from the pterion anteriorly in a posteroinferior fashion to meet the parietomastoid suture.

• The main cranial sutures & fontanelles include: Coronal Sutures Metopic Suture Posterior Fontanelle Sagittal Suture Lambdoid Sutures Anterior Fontanelle Squamosal Sutures
