The parietal bones meets each other along the __________ suture. Options: Sagittal, Lambdoid, Coronal, Squamous.

Answer

The correct answer is Sagittal. The sagittal suture is the dense, fibrous connective tissue joint between the two parietal bones of the skull. It runs from the front to the back of the skull along the midline. To compare with other options: the Coronal suture joins the frontal bone with the parietal bones; the Lambdoid suture joins the parietal bones with the occipital bone; and the Squamous suture joins the parietal bone with the temporal bone.
