The parietal bones (/pəˈr.ɪtəl/ pə-RY-it-əl) are two bones in the skull which, when joined at a fibrous joint, form the sides and roof of the neurocranium. In humans, each bone is roughly quadrilateral in form, and has two surfaces, four borders, and four angles. It is named from the Latin paries (-ietis), wall.
