Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Understand the anatomy of the human skull and the role of sutures. Sutures are immovable joints that connect the bones of the skull. Each suture has a specific location and function.

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

Step 3: Review the names and locations of the major sutures in the skull. The coronal suture separates the frontal bone from the parietal bones, the sagittal suture runs along the midline between the two parietal bones, the lambdoid suture separates the parietal bones from the occipital bone, and the squamous suture separates the temporal bones from the parietal bones.

Step 4: Match the suture that separates the temporal bones from the parietal bones. Based on the anatomical location, the squamous suture is the correct answer.

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