Palmer Spinal Exam 4 Practice

The Bregma landmark is formed where which sutures meet?

Lambdoid Suture and Sagittal Suture Sagittal Suture and Metopic Suture Coronal Suture and Sagittal Suture Coronal Suture and Lambdoid Suture

Correct Answer:

Coronal Suture and Sagittal Suture

Explanation:

The Bregma is the point where the sagittal suture and the coronal suture meet at the top of the skull. The coronal suture runs side to side between the frontal bone and the parietal bones, while the sagittal suture runs along the midline between the two parietal bones. Their intersection creates this important cranial landmark. For contrast, the lambda is where the sagittal suture meets the lambdoid sutures at the back of the skull, and the metopic suture is a frontal suture that may persist in infancy but does not define Bregma.
