what's between the scalp and the skin
Illustration of the scalp and meninges. The scalp is usually described as having five layers, which can conveniently be remembered as a mnemonic: S: The skin on the head from which head hair grows. It contains numerous sebaeceous glands and hair follicles. C: Connective tissue. A dense subcutaneous layer of fat and fibrous tissue that lies beneath the skin, containing the nerves and vessels of the scalp.
