Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The structure labeled B is the posterior fontanel, which is the small triangular space at the junction of the lambdoid and sagittal sutures. It usually closes by 2-3 months of age. The other choices (A, C, D, E) refer to different fontanels or bones in the skull, but are not the structure labeled B in the diagram.
