Descriptions
The scalp is the anatomical area bordered by the face anteriorly and the neck to the sides and posteriorly. It is usually described as having five layers. S: The skin on the head from which head hair grows. It is richly supplied with blood vessels and can be subject to such conditions as dandruff and cutis verticis gyrata.C: Connective tissue. a thin layer of fat and fibrous tissue lies beneath the skinA: The aponeurosis (or galea aponeurotica) is the next layer. It is a tough layer of dense fibrous tissue which runs from the frontalis muscle anteriorly to the occipitalis posteriorlyL: The loose areolar connective tissue layer provides an easy plane of separation between the upper three layers and the pericranium. In the barbaric practice of scalping the scalp is torn off through this layer. It also provides a plane of access in craniofacial surgery and neurosurgery.
