What connects the occipitals and the frontal bones?

  1. Sutures

  2. Marrow

  3. Aponeurosis

  4. Ligaments

The correct answer is: Aponeurosis

Aponeurosis is a tough, sheet-like structure that connects two parts of the body together, and in this specific question, it refers to the structure that connects the occipital and frontal bones. A. Sutures are fibrous joints that connect bones. While they do connect the occipital and frontal bones, they are not a singular structure that connects the two bones in a sheet-like manner. B. Marrow is the soft tissue found inside bones, and it does not connect bones together. D. Ligaments are strong bands of tissue that connect bone to bone. While they do connect the occipital and frontal bones, they are not specifically referred to as aponeurosis.
