The sagittal suture is a dense fibrous connective tissue joint between the two parietal bones of the skull. The term is derived from the Latin word sagitta meaning arrow. The derivation of this term may be demonstrated by observing how the sagittal suture is notched posteriorly like an arrow by the lambdoid suture.
