Fascias
Fascias are sheets or bands of connective tissue that enclose, separate, and support muscles, organs, vessels, and nerves. They form a continuous three‑dimensional network that extends from the skin to internal cavities. The fascial system contributes to mechanical integrity, transmits muscular forces, stabilizes compartments, and contains a rich supply of sensory receptors that inform position and tension.
Superficial fascia lies just below the skin and often contains fat, loose connective tissue, blood vessels,
Fascia is primarily composed of collagen fibers with varying amounts of elastin and extracellular matrix, and
Clinically, fascia plays a role in the organization of muscle compartments and in surgical approaches. Pathological
