What are the muscles of the scalp?

  1. Epicranius top, occipitals front, frontalis front, temporalis

  2. Epicranius top, occipitals front, frontalis front, epicranial

  3. Epicranius top, occipitals back, frontalis front, temporalis

  4. Epicranius middle, Occipitals front, frontalis back, temporalis

The correct answer is: Epicranius top, occipitals front, frontalis front, epicranial

The correct answer is B because the muscles of the scalp are the epicranius (top), occipitals (back), frontalis (front), and epicranial (middle). Option A is incorrect because the epicranius is not divided into top, front, and middle regions and the temporalis muscle is not included in the muscles of the scalp. Option C is similar to A except the occipitals are incorrectly listed as being at the back instead of the front. Option D is incorrect because the frontalis muscle is located at the front of the scalp, not the back, and the epicranius is not divided into middle and top regions. Therefore, B is the only option that correctly includes all four muscles of the scalp and their correct locations.
