Median palatine suture, transverse palatine suture
Midline articulation between two palatine processes of the maxilla anteriorly and two horizontal plates of palatine bones posteriorly
Median palatine suture
Articulation of two palatine processes of maxilla and two horizontal plates of palatine bones
Transverse palatine suture
Forms the floor of the nasal cavity as well as the roof of the mouth
