The scalp consists of five layers: skin, connective tissue, aponeurosis with the occipitofrontalis muscle, loose areolar tissue, and pericranium. It has a rich blood supply from various arteries and is innervated by branches of the trigeminal and cervical nerves. The scalp is clinically significant due to its potential for infections and various conditions like black eye and caput succedaneum.
