In fetal skull, the sutures are wide and allow slight movement during birth, but later in life they become rigid and fixed. This article will explain the anatomy, structure and function of the sutures of the skull. Key factsTable quiz Anterior aspect of skull Frontonasal suture - between ...
In this chapter, we focus on the outer sutures of the skull vault and face that could be used for surgical approaches, without the excessive details that dominate in other textbooks of anatomy. The skull comprises two main parts: the neurocranium (bony box surrounding the brain) and the vis...

Cranial sutures fuse once certain developmental milestones have been reached, which allows for natural childbirth and the expansion of the skull into the second and third decades of life [2]. In this chapter, we discuss the anatomy of the sutures of the cranial base, their clinical implications...
Despite having a skull that is largely co‐ossified or fused as an adult, we found that the types, components, and ontogeny of sutures in chicken skulls are very similar to sutures in other vertebrates. We did, however, find a new transient stage in the ontogeny of sutures between ...
