A scalp massage primarily affects the bones of the skull, including the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital bones. These bones provide structural support and protection to the brain and are connected by joints called sutures.
The human skull has 14 facial bones, including the mandible (lower jaw), maxilla (upper jaw), zygomatic bones (cheekbones), and nasal bones. These bones contribute to the structure of the face and protect the delicate organs like the eyes, nose, and mouth.
