"sutura sagittalis" is marked with the number 2The sagittal suture (sutura sagittalis) is a dense, fibrous connective tissue joint between the two parietal bones of the skull. At birth, the bones of the skull do not meet. If certain bones of the skull grow too fast then "premature closure" of the sutures may occur. This can result is skull deformities. If the sagittal suture closes early the skull becomes long, narrow, and wedge-shaped, a condition called "scaphocephaly."

Not, what you want ... then stitches comes to mind.

SUTURE, SOO tyoor, is the line formed where bones are joined in an immovable joint, as in the skull. It is also the sewing-up of an incision, or opening, in surgery. Doctors call the material used for sewing an incision a suture, too. This material is made of catgut, fine silk, linen, wire, or nylon.
