Tendon Helmet

The tendon helmet (lat. galea aponeurotica) is a layer of connective tissue membrane on the skull, which consists of a tendon helmet and aponeurosis. It is one of the most durable and damage-resistant elements of the skull. The helmet protects the brain and spinal cord from impact and also provides support for the muscles of the head and neck.

The tendon helmet consists of two layers: the outer tendon layer and the inner aponeurotic layer. The outer layer includes tendon fibers that interconnect and form a rigid structure. The inner layer consists of aponeurosis fibers, which are also interconnected.

Functions of the tendon helmet:

1. Protects the brain and spinal cord from damage.
2. Supports the head and neck muscles, which ensures stability of the head and neck during movement.
3. Preventing concussions from blows to the head.
4. Participation in the formation of facial contours and skull shape.

There are several diseases associated with the tendon helmet, such as osteochondropathy of the aponeurosis (Fox disease), which is characterized by thinning and weakening of the aponeurosis and can lead to deformation of the face and head. There is also carpal tunnel syndrome, which is caused by a pinched nerve in the tunnel between the tendon cap and the wrist.

Overall, the tendon helmet plays an important role in protecting the brain and providing stability to the head and neck during movement. However, some diseases can cause it to weaken or become deformed, which can cause various health problems.

The helmet of tendons or galeaponeurotica is a term used in medicine and physiology to refer to the area of ​​the epidermis at the front of the skull. Due to its anatomical structure, it represents a fairly strong barrier that provides protection to the brain and other important organs of the head. At the same time, it may have its own characteristics of functioning and possible pathologies.

Unlike the skin of the face, which has many sweat glands and hair, the skin of the scalp is structured differently. Its cover consists mainly of the stratum corneum, which is a secondary element of the structure of the epidermis, covering the surface of the skin. It is formed from keratinized cells. The structure of the skin of the pelvis compared to the structure of the scalp has a number of differences. The main skin glands of the head are sebaceous and sweat. The skin substance has a denser and coarser structure, is elastic and elastic, as a result of which there are no many rows of germ cells in the scalp. There are only four rows of germ cells, or five if you count the hair root.

The protective functions of the scalp are very important for humans. The skin protects the receptors from injury. These receptors are everywhere - in the lips, on the tip of the tongue, above the eyebrows, in the nose, behind the ears. They are also on
