Suture (Skull) Coronal Suture

Suture (Skull) Coronal Suture is an anatomical term designating the connecting suture between the frontal and parietal bones of the skull. The coronal suture extends from the temporal bone to the opposite temporal bone across the crown of the skull. It connects the frontal bone to the paired parietal bone, forming a curved suture that is shaped like a wreath or crown, hence the name "coronoid". This suture provides a certain mobility of the skull bones during childbirth and is one of the key sutures for normal brain development in newborns. The coronal suture usually fuses by 2-3 years of age.



Cranial suture (coronal suture, coronal suture), or cranial suture, located on the frontal region of the skull. On the upper surface of the skull, the sutures are connected by the coronoid bone and form a joint called the coronoid process. Humans typically have 8 sutures in the skull; There are practically no them on the lower border of the back of the head. The transverse coronal suture is not a suture, but a narrow strip of the substance of the frontal bone, dividing it into the right and left halves. The superficial portion of the transverse coronal suture (Darwin's sinus) can be used as a jugular vein, since it has a number of tributaries corresponding to venous valves.
