lambdoid suture
The dense, fibrous connective tissue joint between the parietal bones and the occipital bone. Every claim on this page comes from the Leumas anatomy graph and carries its source.
What the lambdoid suture is
The dense, fibrous connective tissue joint between the parietal bones and the occipital bone. The atlas records it as a joint at the organ scale in the human body.
Where the lambdoid suture is
It sits in the head, within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually, and containment is not asserted either. Drawn near structures of the same kind, which is a weak claim about location.
What the lambdoid suture connects to
The atlas records 8 typed relationships for it, across 3 kinds of connection. part of neurocranium and vault of skull.
Supply and innervation
This dataset asserts no arterial supply, venous drainage or innervation for the lambdoid suture. Only a minority of structures carry those edges here, so an empty answer means nothing has been recorded — not that there is nothing to record.
Also called
Also recorded as lambdoid suture of skull, lambdoidal suture and sutura lambdoidea. Searching any of those names reaches this page.

Questions
Where is the lambdoid suture?
It sits in the head, within the skeletal system. Not positioned individually, and containment is not asserted either. Drawn near structures of the same kind, which is a weak claim about location.
What does the lambdoid suture connect to?
Part of: neurocranium and vault of skull.
Is the lambdoid suture the same in other species?
Leumas holds the same relationship vocabulary for every species it carries, so where another dataset records this structure you can put the two side by side on /compare.
