FASCIA
It is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood
vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place.
1. SUPERFICIAL FASCIA
- It unites the skin to the
underlying structures
- It is a mixture of adipose and
loose areolar tissues
- It is dense in some places as in
scalp, palm of hand and sole of
foot
- It is thin in the eyelids, auricle,
scrotum, penis and clitoris
It is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood
vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place.
2. Deep Fascia
• It is more dense than superficial fascia.
• Collagenous bundles are compact and more regularly arranged.
