The term 'top of the head' is used to refer to the area of the head that is located at the highest point. This area includes the SCALP, PATE, and CROWN. The SCALP is the layer of skin that covers the top of the head and is made up of hair follicles, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands. The PATE is the flat area of the skull that lies just above the forehead and is covered by the SCALP. The CROWN is the area of the head that is located at the very top and is often referred to as the 'crowning glory'.
