The squamous suture is one of the eight sutures that join the bones of the skull together. It is located between the parietal and temporal bones on each side of the skull. The squamous suture is a type of fibrous joint, where the bones are connected by dense fibrous tissue, allowing for minimal movement.
The squamous suture is important for protecting the brain and providing stability to the skull. It also allows for some flexibility during childbirth, as the bones of the skull can slightly overlap to help the baby pass through the birth canal.
In adults, the squamous suture is typically fused and no longer visible, as the bones of the skull fully develop and harden with age. However, in infants and children, the squamous suture is still open and flexible to allow for growth and development of the skull.
