Coronal suture

A serrated junction between frontal and parietal bones. Runs transversely across the vault. Meets the sagittal suture at bregma.

Zoom in, then drag to inspect. Keyboard: + / − to zoom, arrows to pan, 0 to reset. Tap the numbered markers to explore parts.

STRUCTURE & FUNCTION

Understand what you see.

A serrated junction between frontal and parietal bones.

Zoom into the original labels. Practise pointing out each structure, then explain it aloud. Diagrams are teaching references; specimen appearance and slide staining vary.

01 / IDENTIFICATION

How to recognise it.

  1. A serrated junction between frontal and parietal bones
  2. Runs transversely across the vault
  3. Meets the sagittal suture at bregma
02 / KEY STRUCTURES

Point them out.

Tap a number to open its reference, zoom in and locate the structure. Numbers stay the same across views. This key follows landmarks visible in the reference images.

03 / VIVA PRACTICE

Think first. Then reveal.

Say your answer aloud before opening the suggested response.

Examiner-style prompts: identify the structure, explain its relations, then answer the applied follow-up. These are revision questions, not authenticated past papers.

01Identify coronal suture and justify your identification.
SUGGESTED ANSWER

A serrated junction between frontal and parietal bones. Runs transversely across the vault. Meets the sagittal suture at bregma.

02What type of joint is a skull suture?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

A fibrous joint; a suture does not have a synovial cavity.

03What is bregma?
SUGGESTED ANSWER

The junction of coronal and sagittal sutures, corresponding to the anterior fontanelle in infancy.
