What lies between your skull and your skin?
Between your skull and your skin lies several layers of tissue, including the meninges, which are protective membranes covering the brain, and the scalp, which consists of skin, connective tissue, and blood vessels. The layers include the periosteum, a dense layer of connective tissue that adheres to the skull, followed by the loose areolar tissue and the skin itself. This complex structure provides protection and support to the brain while facilitating blood circulation and sensation in the scalp.
