humors from the body.[Obs.] --Wiseman.
2. (Anat.) One of the membranous intervals between the
incompleted angles of the parietal and neighboring bones
of a fetal or young skull; -- so called because it
exhibits a rhythmical pulsation.

the anterior, or bregmatic, situated at the junction of
the coronal and sagittal sutures, is much the largest,
and remains open a considerable time after birth.
