 Preliminary dissection video I'm reflecting the scalp normally when we reflect the scalp we reflect the first three layers together namely the skin the dense connective tissue and the aponeurosis but here I'm doing something different I'm going in the connective tissue layer itself and that's what I have done here and you can see can we see these close-up fibers here these parallel fibers these are the dense connective tissue this acts as a glue like a cement which connects the skin with the underlying aponeurosis and therefore the three layers are considered together if you watch me closely I'll be dissecting a little more and you can see the texture of this as I'm dissecting I'm splitting the dense connective tissue layer right now with my scissors this is the unique thing about the dense connective tissue layer which densely connects the overlined skin with the underlying aponeurosis this is the skin that we are reflecting here this is the gallia aponeurotica so therefore this is layer number one this is layer number three in between if you look very closely we can see these dense fiber strands this is layer number two the dense connective tissue layer which acts as a glue connecting the skin overlying with the gallia aponeurotica below and under this is the loose aerial tissue layer and you can see my finger can go very easily and it can separate it and this is where a version of the scalp takes place and on the skull move we have the epichranium or the periosteum which covers the skull bone so therefore the five layers of the scalp are skin the dense connective tissue which we can see here aponeurosis loose aerial tissue layer and periosteum so these are the five layers of the scalp
