coronal suture

Frontal-parietal bone junction

The coronal suture is the fibrous joint that runs across the top of the skull, connecting the frontal bone to the two parietal bones.

It forms a line roughly from ear to ear over the crown of the head.

In infants, the suture remains flexible to allow brain growth; it gradually fuses during adulthood.
