Sutures of the skull

The video explains how the skull is formed by intricate bony puzzle pieces connected by four main sutures: the Coronal, Sagittal, Lambdoid, and Squamous sutures. These sutures are crucial in keeping the skull intact and preventing cracks. To remember the names of these sutures, one can think about their function in preventing cracked skulls.

What is the primary composition of the skull?

• Fibrous tissue

• Cartilage

• Metal plates

• Intricate bony puzzle pieces

Which of the following is NOT a main suture of the skull?

• Coronal Suture

• Temporal Suture

• Sagittal Suture

• Lambdoid Suture

What is the role of sutures in the skull?

• To allow brain expansion

• To connect the jaw to the skull

• To keep the bony pieces of the skull together

• To provide a pathway for nerves

How can you remember the names of the sutures?

• By their size

• By their function

• By their location

• By their color

What happens if the skull lacks sutures?
