Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the anatomy of the skull and the role of sutures. Sutures are immovable joints that connect the bones of the skull. They are named based on the bones they connect and their location.

Step 2: Identify the temporal bone and parietal bone. The temporal bone is located on the sides of the skull, near the ears, while the parietal bone is located on the top and sides of the skull.

Step 3: Learn the names and locations of the major sutures in the skull. The coronal suture connects the frontal bone to the parietal bones, the sagittal suture connects the two parietal bones, the lambdoid suture connects the parietal bones to the occipital bone, and the squamous suture connects the temporal bone to the parietal bone.

Step 4: Match the suture to the bones it connects. Since the question asks for the suture between the temporal bone and the parietal bone, the correct suture is the squamous suture.

Step 5: Confirm your understanding by visualizing or referencing a diagram of the skull to see the squamous suture connecting the temporal and parietal bones.
