Q

Layers of the scalp?

SCALP

A

Skin: outermost layer
(Dense) Connective tissue: subcutaneous layer rich in neurovascular structures
epicranial Aponeurosis: suturing required to close gaping wounds
Loose connective tissue: separates scalp proper (1st 3 layers) from underlying pericranium & calvaria
Pericranium: external periosteal layer

Q

In the epicranial aponeurosislayer of the scalp:
Which muscle and tendon is found here?
Issue with gaping wounds?

A

Tendon & muscle of occipitofrontalis (has frontal and occipital belly)
This layer prevents superficial wounds from gaping open; when this layer is compromised (e.g. laceration), gaping wounds result that require sutures to close
