Suture
A suture is a type of fibrous joint which only occurs in the skull. They are bound together by Sharpey's fibres. A tiny amount of movement is permitted at sutures, which contributes to the compliance and elasticity of the skull. These joints are synarthroses. It is normal for many of the bones of the skull to remain unfused at birth. The fusion of the skull's bones at birth is known as craniosynostosis. The term "fontanelle" is used to describe the resulting "soft spots". The relative positions of the bones continue to change during the life of the adult, which can provide useful information in forensics and archaeology. In old age, cranial sutures may ossify completely. The joint between the mandible and the cranium, the temporomandibular joint, forms the only non-sutured joint in the skull.
