Scalp Explanation
Scalp is the soft tissue layer covering the bony vault over the brain. It is usually described as having five layers, which can conveniently be remembered as a mnemonic: S: The skin on the head from which head hair grows. It contains numerous sabaeceous glands and hair follicles C: Connective tissue. A thin layer of fat and fibrous tissue lies beneath the skin. A: The aponeurosis called epicranial 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 posteriorly. L: The loose areolar connective tissue layer provides an easy plane of separation between the upper three layers and the pericranium. I P: The pericranium is the periosteum of the skull bones and provides nutrition to the bone and the capacity for repair.  · |

Re: Scalp Explanation
My brothers had their fair share of stitches in all of those layers... Only had scalp stitches once. 6 of them... when I was 7 years old was rolling on the floor, got my head jammed under a cast iron radiator...  Has nothing to do with my mental disposition...I swear...  |
