Where is the epicranius located?

  1. On the sides of the head

  2. On the neck

  3. On the forehead

  4. On the top of the head

The correct answer is: On the top of the head

The epicranius, also known as the occipitofrontalis muscle, is a muscle that covers the top of the head. It consists of two parts: the occipitalis (located on the back of the head) and the frontalis (located on the forehead). The correct answer is D - "On the top of the head" because the epicranius muscle is primarily located on the top of the head. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because the epicranius muscle is not located on the sides of the head, the neck, or the forehead alone. It covers the top of the head and plays a role in facial expressions such as raising the eyebrows and wrinkling the forehead.
