SUTURES are synarthrotic joints that have distinct, interlocking, usually irregular edges that increase their strength. Sutures are joints between the bones of the skull.
Synarthroses are immovable joints (synarthrosis) in which bones are separated by a thin layer of fibrous connective tissue.
A suture is a narrow synarthrotic joint that occurs between specific bones of the skull.
These main sutures of the skull include metopic suture, coronal suture, sagittal suture, and lambdoid suture.
