Study Notes
- The scalp consists of five layers: Skin, Dense Connective Tissue, Epicranial Aponeurosis, Loose Areolar Connective Tissue and Periosteum.
- The loose connective tissue layer is considered the "danger area" of the scalp due to the emissary veins.
- The scalp receives a rich arterial supply via the external carotid artery and the ophthalmic artery.
- The scalp is innervated by branches of the trigeminal nerve or the cervical nerve roots.
- Deep lacerations to the scalp tend to bleed profusely due to arterial supply and emissary veins.
- The venous drainage of the scalp can be divided into superficial and deep components.
- The superficial drainage follows the arterial supply.
- The deep (temporal) region of the skull is drained by the pterygoid venous plexus.
- The scalp veins connect to the diploic veins of the skull via valveless emissary veins.
- The scalp receives additional supply from two branches of the ophthalmic artery - the supraorbital and supratrochlear arteries.
