A typical adult human skeleton consists of the following 206 bones, though this number does vary owing to a variety of anatomical variations; for example, a small portion of the human population have an extra rib, or an extra lumbar vertebra. ...
The galea aponeurotica (epicranial aponeurosis) covers the upper part of the cranium; behind, it is attached, in the interval between its union with the Occipitales, to the external occipital protuberance and highest nuchal lines of the occipital bone; in front, it forms a short and narrow prolongation between its union...

The mastoid process (or mastoid bone) is a conical bump of the posterior portion of the temporal bone that is situated behind the ear in humans and many other vertebrates and serves as a site of neck muscle attachment (the Sternocleidomastoid, Splenius capitis, and Longissimus capitis). ...

Fascia, pronounced , is specialized connective tissue layer which surrounds muscles, bones, and joints, providing support, protection and giving structure to the body. ...
The Occipitalis muscle is a muscle of the human body. ...
It has no bony attachments.
Its medial fibers are continuous with those of the Procerus; its immediate fibers blend with the Corrugator and Orbicularis oculi; and its lateral fibers are also blended with the latter muscle over the zygomatic process of the frontal bone. The Procerus is a small pyramidal slip of muscle deep to the superior orbital nerve, artery and vein. ...

From these attachments the fibers are directed upward, and join the galea aponeurotica below the coronal suture. The Galea aponeurotica is connective tissue at the back of the head. ...
The coronal suture (sutura coronalis) is a dense, fibrous connective tissue joint that separates the frontal and parietal bones of the skull. ...
The medial margins of the Frontales are joined together for some distance above the root of the nose; but between the Occipitales there is a considerable, though variable, interval, occupied by the galea aponeurotica. For the article about nose in humans, see human nose. ...

It is considered by some sources not to be a muscle of its own, but to be a part of the occipitofrontalis muscle. The Occipitofrontalis is a term used by some to describe a muscle of the human body, with two parts: the occipital part/belly, and the frontal part/belly. ...
Clinical significance On neurological examination the frontalis muscle is helpful in determining whether a facial nerve abnormality is an upper or lower motor neurone lesion. - In an upper motor neurone facial nerve abnormality, the frontalis is usually spared, so the patient is able to raise his or her eyebrows normally.
- In a lower motor neurone facial nerve abnormality, there will be unilateral weakness of one side of the frontalis muscle.
This is because frontalis has bilateral cortical representation. Upper motor neurons are any neurons that carry motor information down to the final common pathway, that is, any neurons that are not directly responsible for stimulating the target muscle. ...
Lower motor neurons are the motoneurons connecting the spinal cord to the muscle fibers, bringing the nerve impulses from the upper motor neurons out the spine to the muscles. ...
