The aponeurosis of the scalp is continuous across the top ofthe head, and is more characteristic behind, where there is a medianarea chiefly composed of longitudinal fibres which are attached to theexternal occipital protuberance and adjoining portions of the uppercurved line. It is thinner in front, and at the sides, in the temporalregion, it is not so closely associated with the scalp, being continuedover the subjacent temporal fascia as far as the zygoma. Between theaponeurosis (epicranmm) and the delicate membrane overlying the skullbones {pericranium) there is a layer of loose connective
