Parietal bone

The video tutorial discusses the parietal bones, which are located on both sides of the neurocranium and form significant parts of the top and side of the head. It describes the internal and external surfaces of the bones, including grooves for arteries and sinuses. The tutorial also covers the connections and sutures with other bones, such as the frontal, occipital, temporal, and sphenoid bones. The video concludes by promoting additional resources for learning anatomy through Kenhub.
