What is another name for the scalp?

Epicranius
Epicranium
Pons
Cerebellum

The correct answer is: Epicranium

The scalp is the thick protective layer of skin covering the top of the head, known as the epicranium. It is responsible for cushioning and protecting the skull and brain. Option A, the epicranius, is actually a muscle located on the scalp. Option C, the pons, is a part of the brainstem involved in transferring information between the brain and spinal cord. Option D, the cerebellum, is located at the bottom of the brain and is responsible for coordinating movement and balance. However, none of these options are another name for the scalp. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
