where does the region of the scalp end?
superior to orbital rim, external occipital protuberance
layers of the scalp
- skin
- dense connective tissue
- aponeurosis (vessels and nerves reside)
- loose CT (has potential danger spaces)
- periosteum
mm of scalp and ears
- occipitofrontalis m (occipital and frontal bellies): moves scalp back and forth
- 3 auricularis mm (ant, sup, post): protract, elevate, and retract ears
mm of the eye region
frontalis m: raises eyebrow
corrugator supercilii m: draws brows in
orbicularis oculi m (orbital and palpebral regions): closes eye
