The Squamosal Suture is BEST Observed from Which View of the Skull

Question

The squamosal suture is BEST observed from which view of the skull?
A)Anterior view
B)Inferior view
C)Lateral view
D)Superior view

Accepted Answer

The squamosal suture is a joint that connects the temporal bone of the skull to the parietal bone, and it is located between the squamous portion of the temporal bone and the parietal bone. The structure is best observed in the lateral view of the skull, which shows the side of the skull and highlights the location of the temporal and parietal bones. The anterior, inferior, and superior views of the skull may show other sutures and structures but are not as ideal for identifying the squamosal suture.
