Excerpt from American Practice of Surgery, Vol. 5 of 8: A Complete System of the Science and Art of Surgery, by Representative Surgeons of the United States and Canada

Anatomical Peculiarities. - T he scalp presents many anatomical peculiarities with a marked surgical bearing. It is composed of three chief layers of tissue' the Skin, the fronto - occipital muscle with its aponeurosis, the galea, and finally the periosteum or pericranium. These three are bound together by two layers of areolar tissue. That which binds the skin to the occipito-frontalis muscle and the galea is in the main dense and firm; only over the forehead, lower tem poral and lower occipital regions does one find the skin loose and movable upon the underlying parts. On the other hand, the areolar tissue between periosteum and galea is loose-meshed to such a degree that the scalp as a whole is freely movable upon the underlying bone.
