SCALP Flashcards
S- C- A- L- P-
S-skin C-cutaneous layer(dense) A-aponeurotic layer L- loose areolar layer P- pericranium
Which layer of the scalp has a lot of hair
Skin
Which layer of the scalp has sweat and sebaceous glands
Skin
Cutaneous layer- loose or dense
Dense
Another name for the aponeurotic layer
galea aponeurotica
Anterior boundary of the aponeurotic layer
Posterior boundary of aponeurotic layer
Frontalis muscle
Bellies of occipitalis
Attachments of aponeurotic layer
Anteriorly
Posteriorly
Laterally
Posterior:superior nuchal lines and external occipital protuberance (inion)
Anteriorly:no bony attachments
Laterally:over temporal fascia to meet zygomatic arch
What layer allows for movement of some layers of the scalp
Loose areolar tissue layer
Attachments of the loose areolar tissue layer
Anterior
Posterior
Lateral
posterior: highest and superior nuchal lines
Laterally:superior temporal lines
Anteriorly: eyelids
Which layer has emissary veins
Loose areolar tissue layer
Function of emissary veins
drains extracranial veins into intracranial venous sinus
Regular Emissary veins pass from where to where
Parietal foramen to superior sagittal sinus
Mastoid emissary veins pass from where to where
Mastoid foramen to sigmoid sinus
Why is the loose areolar tissue layer called the dangerous layer
can transfer extracranial infections
Attachments of the pericranium
Sutures of the cranium, not the cranium itself
Lymph drainage of the scalp anterior to the ear
Pre-auricular lymph nodes
Parotid gland nodes
Lymph drainage of the scalp posterior to the ear
Posterior auricular lymph nodes
Mastoid lymph nodes
Occipital lymph nodes
Blood supply of the scalp anterior to the ear
Internal carotid artery-opthalamic artery-supraorbital and supratrochlear arteries
External carotid artery-superficial temporal artery
Blood supply of the scalp posterior to the ear
Posterior auricular artery and occipital arteries
Both from the external carotid artery
Where does the arteries from the internal and external carotid artery supplying the scalp anastomose
Over the temple
Supratrochlear and Supraorbital veins drain into ——
Internal jugular vein
Superficial temporal vein drain into ——- then ——- then ———
Facial veins; maxillary veins;retromandibular veins
Anterior division of retromandibular vein + facial vein =——- that drains into ——-
Common facial vein that drains into internal jugular vein
Posterior division of retromandibular vein + posterior auricular veins =_____ that drains into ______
External jugular veins; subclavian veins
Fate of occipital veins
Drain into suboccipital venous sinuses
