The lambdoid suture, or lambdoidal suture, is a dense, fibrous connective tissue joint on the posterior aspect of the skull that connects the parietal bones with the occipital bone. It is continuous with the occipitomastoid suture.
The lambdoid suture is a connective tissue joint located at the back of the skull. It connects the occipital bone with the parietal bones.
The lambdoid suture is the serrated interlocking joint between the two parietal bones and the occipital bone of the skull, whose name derives from its resemblance to the Greek uppercase letter lambda (Λ).
The lambdoid suture is the junction between the superior border of the squamous occipital bone and the posterior borders of the right and left parietal bones. It normally fuses at approximately 26 years of age.
The lambdoid suture extends downward and laterally to either side away from its junction with the sagittal suture. The lambdoid suture joins the occipital bone to the right and left parietal and temporal bones.
The coronal suture separates the frontal bone and the parietal bone. The coronal and the sagittal sutures converge into the bregma. The sagittal and lambdoid sutures are also visible from this angle. Review the bones of the skull with this quick, integrated quiz.
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.
Sutural bones, also called wormian bones, are commonly found along the extent of the lambdoid suture. They form due to separate ossification centres to the lambdoid suture. A large interparietal bone, sometimes called the Inca bone, is often found between the posterior borders of the parietal bones. Superior view
The lambdoid suture (or lambdoidal suture) is a dense, fibrous connective tissue joint on the posterior aspect of the skull that connects the parietal bones with the occipital bone. It is continuous with the occipitomastoid suture. Its name comes from its lambda-like shape.
1) Suture (joints between skull bones) 2) Syndesmosis (joints between long bones of forearm and leg) 3) Gomphosis (joints between roots of a tooth and socket in jaw) The lambdoid suture joins the parietal bones with the occipital bone, and is continuous with the occiptomastoid suture.
