Muscles and Tendons
- The epicranial aponeurosis is connected to the frontal and occipital bellies of the occipitofrontalis muscle by the occipital tendon.
Nerve Supply
- The area anterior to the auricle is supplied by the auriculotemporal nerve.
- The area posterior to the auricle is supplied by the lesser occipital nerve.
- The forehead area superior to the eyebrows is supplied by the supratrochlear and supraorbital nerves.
Bony Landmarks
- The periosteum that covers the vault of the skull is called the pericranium.
- The occipital bellies are attached to the external occipital protuberance and highest nuchal lines.
