The scalp is the anatomical area bordered by the face anteriorly and the neck to the sides and posteriorly.
It is usually described as having five layers, which can conveniently be remembered as a mnemonic:
The clinically important layer is the aponeurosis. Scalp lacerations through this layer mean that the "anchoring" of the superficial layers is lost and gaping of the wound occurs; this requires suturing. This can be achieved with simple or vertical mattress sutures using a non-absorbable material, which are subsequently removed at around days 7-10.
The blood supply of the scalp is via five pairs of arteries, three from the external carotid and two from the internal carotid:
Note: The walls of the blood vessels are firmly attached to the fibrous tissue of the superficial fascial layer, hence cut ends of vessels here do not readily retract; Even a small scalp wound may bleed profusely.
Innervation is the connection of nerves to the scalp: the sensory and motor nerves innervating the scalp. The scalp is innervated by the following:
