Nomenclature of scales (top view of head)

Parietal scales are the scales of a snake located on the snake's head and are connected to the frontals towards the posterior.[1] These plate-like scales are analogous to and take their name from the parietal bone, which forms the roof and sides of the cranium in humans.
