Most of the bones of an adult human skull are connected to each other by syndesmoses and are called sutures. The strength of the cranial sutures is comparable to that of bones: traumatic rupture of the sutures is possible, especially in childhood1, but in any case, such ruptures are much less common than fractures of the skull bones.2.
‣ Serrate suture, from Latin serratus — sawlike, notched like a saw. This type of sutures is found predominantly between the bones of the cranial vault, i.e. coronal and sagittal sutures;
‣ Plane sutures with a characteristic linear or smoothly curved outline on the surface of the skull. Located mainly between the bones of facial skull, i.e. internasal, nasomaxillar, lacrimomaxillar sutures;

Suturae cranii. Aspectus cranii lateralis
Some bones of the viscerocranium (the right zygomatic, maxillary, lacrimal, nasal and paltine) as well as the ethmoid bone were removed to provide better visibility of the nasal septum and lateral wall of the nasal cavity.
