Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which suture holds the parietal and temporal bones together?
A
Squamous
B
Sagittal
C
Coronal
D
Lambdoid
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Squamosal suture : the suture between the temporal and parietal bones.

Detailed explanation-2: -The squamous suture joins the parietal bone and the temporal bone. The sphenofrontal suture links the frontal bone and the sphenoid bone. The sphenoparietal suture articulates the sphenoid bone and the parietal bone.

Detailed explanation-3: -The coronal suture is a dense and fibrous association of connection tissue located in between the frontal and parietal bones of the skull.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -The squamosal suture is one of the lateral minor skull sutures, separating the parietal and squamous temporal bones. While the phenotypic appearances and sequelae of synostosis of the major cranial vault sutures are well documented, little is reported concerning synostosis of the squamosal suture (SQS).
