Skin & appendages
Looks like
Five layers — skin, dense fatty tissue, a tendon sheet, loose tissue and the bone's lining — over the skull, carrying about 100 000 hairs.
What it does
Cushions the skull, holds hair, and bleeds heavily because it is richly supplied.
Keeping it well
Gentle washing, sunscreen or a hat on thin hair. Scalp wounds bleed a lot and often need stitches.
