Study Notes
Superficial Fascia
- Loosely attached to the skin on the dorsum of the hands, dorsum of the feet, back of the neck, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet
- Regulates temperature
- Gives the body its full rounded appearance and smooth outline, particularly in females as it fills up the hollows and irregularities of the body and contains the mammary gland
- Contains blood vessels, nerves, lymph glands and sometimes thin sheets of subcutaneous muscles
- Forms sheaths around different muscles or glands
- Forms intermuscular septa and joints capsules
Deep Fascia
- Forms intermuscular septa and joints capsules
- Can form sheaths around muscles or glands
