    Study Notes

    Scalp Anatomy

    • The skin is located anteriorly to the scalp.
    • The 'C' in the word 'SCALP' corresponds to the connective tissue layer of the scalp.
    • The function of the connective tissue layer of the scalp is to provide a loose areolar tissue layer that allows for movement of the scalp.
    • The layers of the scalp, arranged from outwards inwards, start with the skin.
    • The galea aponeurotica gives attachment to the occipito-frontalis muscle in the scalp.
    • The frontalis muscle elevates the eyebrows, as in surprise.
    • The nerve supply to the Occipitalis muscle is provided by the posterior branch of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII).
    • The occipital bellies of the Occipito-frontalis muscle arise from the occipital bone.
    • The scalp behind the ear is known as a "Dangerous area" due to the loose areolar connective tissue (CT) located there.
    • The posterior auricular artery is responsible for supplying blood to the scalp behind the ear.
