What is the name of the tissue that covers the top of the head?

Coronal ligament
Frontalis muscle
Epicranial aponeurosis
Parietal bone

The correct answer is: Epicranial aponeurosis

The epicranial aponeurosis is the correct term for the tissue that covers the top of the head. It is a layer of connective tissue that acts as a fibrous membrane, connecting the frontalis muscle at the forehead and the occipitalis muscle at the back of the head. This structure helps to facilitate movement between the front and back of the scalp, allowing for expressions and movements of the scalp skin. Understanding the role of the epicranial aponeurosis is crucial for estheticians, as it plays a part in scalp treatments and when considering the anatomy related to hair and skin health. The other choices refer to different anatomical structures or tissues that do not serve the same function. For instance, the frontal muscle is specifically a muscle at the front of the head, while the parietal bone is a bone in the skull structure. The coronal ligament, although related to other anatomical parts, does not pertain to the tissue covering the scalp.
