             Today's Topic 

Today we would be sharing with you the notes of one of the important topics of Head and Neck , Scalp. 

              Breif Introduction

Scalp is the soft tissue covering the vault of the skull . 
Scalp consists of five layers . 
1. Skin 
2.Superficial fascia(Connective tissue)
3. Aponeurosis 
4. Loose areolar tissue 
5. Pericranium 
 

                            SKIN

It is the thick and hairy layer  of scalp with maximum number of Hair follicles and associated sebaceous glands.  This makes it more prone to sebaceous cysts

                Superficial fascia 

The superficial fascia of scalp is made up of "dense fibrous connective tissue" It's main function is to bind the skin to the underlying occipitofrontalis muscle and it's aponeurosis.
    
                     Aponeurosis 

It consists of four small bellies :-
a.) Two frontal bellies 
b.) Two occipital bellies 

            Loose areolar tissue 

This is the most important layer of scalp . It serves as a natural plane of cleavage during Craniotomy. 
This layer is traversed by emissary veins. 
                   Pericranium

It is the hardest layer formed by periosteum of bones of vault of skull. 

This was a breif introduction of scalp , other topics covered in notes are :-
