The following mnemonic is a useful reminder of the anatomical layers in the scalp.
- S – Skin, thin except in the occipital region, contains many sweat and sebaceous glands and hair follicles; it has an abundant arterial supply and good venous and lymphatic drainage
- C – Connective tissue, forming the thick, dense, richly vascularized, subcutaneous layer, is well supplied with cutaneous nerves
- A – Aponeurosis (epicranial aponeurosis), a strong tendinous sheet that covers the calvaria, serves as the attachment for the frontal and occipital bellies of the occipitofrontalis muscle and the superior auricular muscle; collectively these structures form the musculoaponeurotic epicranius.
- L – ‘AKA-Danger Zone” Loose connective tissue, a sponge-like layer, has potential spaces that may distend with fluid as a result of injury or infection; this layer allows free movement of the scalp proper (the first three layers) over the underlying calvaria.
- P – Pericranium (periosteum of skull bones), a dense layer of connective tissue, forms the external periosteum of the neurocranium; it is firmly attached but can be stripped fairly easily from the calvaria
