Study Notes
Scalp Layers
- The scalp consists of five layers: skin, connective tissue, aponeurosis, loose connective tissue, and pericranium.
- The loose connective tissue layer contains emissary veins.
- The emissary veins connect the scalp veins to the dural sinuses within the skull.
Dangerous Area
- The scalp is considered a "dangerous area" due to the presence of emissary veins.
- Infections in the scalp can spread to the dural sinuses via these veins.
Muscles of the Scalp
- The epicranius muscle is responsible for moving the scalp.
- It consists of two parts: the occipital belly and the frontal belly.
- The temporoparietalis muscle is another muscle of the scalp.
Arteries of the Scalp
- The supratrochlear, supraorbital, superficial temporal, and occipital arteries supply the scalp.
Nerves of the Scalp
- The supraorbital, zygomaticotemporal, greater occipital, lesser occipital, and auriculotemporal nerves innervate the scalp.
Lymphatic Drainage of Head
- The lymphatic drainage of the head follows the venous drainage pattern.
Facial Skin Innervation
- The skin of the face is innervated by branches of the trigeminal nerve (CN V).
- The three branches of the trigeminal nerve are the ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular nerves.

Lymphatic Drainage of the Face
- The lymphatic drainage of the face follows the venous drainage pattern.
Scalp
- The scalp consists of five layers: skin, connective tissue, aponeurosis, loose connective tissue, and pericranium.
- The loose connective tissue contains emissary veins, forming the "dangerous area" as infections can easily spread to the brain.
- Muscles of the scalp include the epicranius, which is formed by the occipitofrontalis (occipital and frontal belly) and the temporoparietalis, which is responsible for pulling the scalp backwards.
Blood Supply and Innervation of Scalp
- The scalp is supplied by several arteries, including the supratrochlear, supraorbital, superficial temporal, and occipital arteries.
- Innervation of the scalp comes from branches of the trigeminal nerve (CN V) including the supraorbital, zygomaticotemporal, greater occipital, and posterior supratrochlear nerves.
- The scalp also receives innervation from the lesser occipital nerve (C2, C3) and the auriculotemporal nerve.
Lymphatics and Drainage of the Scalp
- Lymphatic drainage of the scalp varies depending on the location, flowing to nodes behind the ear, at the back of the neck, and in the submandibular region.
Muscles of Facial Expression
- Muscles of facial expression are responsible for various facial movements, including blinking, smiling, and frowning.
- These muscles are divided into groups based on their location: those around the eye, nose, and mouth.
Muscles around the Eye
- Muscles surrounding the eye include the orbicularis oculi, corrugator supercilii, and depressor supercilii.
- The orbicularis oculi muscle has three parts: orbital, palpebral, and lacrimal.
- The orbital part helps with forceful closure of the eyelids.
- The palpebral part facilitates gentle closure of the eyelids for blinking and sleep.
- The lacrimal part widens the lacrimal sac for tear drainage.
- The corrugator supercilii pulls the eyebrow downwards and medially.
- The depressor supercilii pulls the eyebrow downwards.
Muscles Around the Nose
- Muscles in this region include the nasalis, procerus, and depressor septi.
- The nasalis muscle has two parts: the transverse part for compressing the nasal ala, and the alar part (dilator nasi) for widening the nasal ala.
- The procerus muscle pulls the skin of the nose downwards and wrinkles it.
- The depressor septi muscle pulls the nasal septum downwards.
Muscles Around the Mouth
- Muscles around the mouth include the orbicularis oris, depressor labii inferioris, depressor anguli oris, mentalis, levator labii superioris, levator anguli oris, zygomaticus major, zygomaticus minor, levator labii superioris alaeque nasi, risorius, and buccinator.
- These muscles work together to control the lips and facilitate expressions like smiling, frowning, and lip protrusion.
- Notably, the modiolus is a convergence point for several muscles at the corners of the mouth.
Innervation of Facial Muscles
- The facial nerve (CN VII) is responsible for innervating all muscles of facial expression.
- The facial nerve has five branches that innervate specific facial muscles.
Blood Supply of the Face
- The face receives blood supply from the facial, maxillary, superficial temporal, and ophthalmic arteries.
- The facial artery branches into the ascending palatine, tonsillary, submental, inferior labial, superior labial, lateral nasal, and angular arteries.
Veins of the Face
- Veins of the face largely mirror the arterial supply.
Lymphatic Drainage of the Face
- Lymphatic drainage of the face follows distinct pathways, ultimately draining to the nodes behind the ears, the submandibular region, and the deep cervical nodes.
