    Superior View Of The Skull
    4 Bones:

    • Frontal bone
    • 2 parietal bone
    • Occipital bone

    3 Sutures:

    • Coronal suture: between frontal bone and 2


    parietal bone.

    • Sagital suture: between 2 parietal bone.

    • Lambdoid suture: between 2 parietal bone


    and occipital bone.
    Other Features:

    1.Parietal eminences: they are the most


    convex area and present posterolaterally.
    2.Parietal emissary foramen ( it may be absent ) :
    in each parietal bone closed to sagital suture
    about 3.5 cm.
    3.Bregma: meeting of coronal and sagital
    suture, it is filled with diamond-shaped
    membrane which ossifies about one and
    half year after birth.
    4.Lambda: the point of meeting the sagital
    and lamboid suture , ossifies at about 3
    months after birth.
