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
Anatomical Terms of Movement
- Inversion - moving the foot so that the sole faces medially
- Eversion - moving the foot so that the sole faces laterally
- Dorsiflexion - bending the foot or ankle upwards
- Plantar Flexion - bending the foot or ankle downwards
Body Regions
- Head
- Neck
- Thorax
- Back
- Upper Limb - arm, forearm, and hand
- Abdomen
- Pelvis
- Lower Limb - thigh, leg, and foot
Parts of the Limbs
- Upper Limb - 3 segments: arm, forearm, and hand
- Upper Limb - 3 joints: shoulder, elbow, and wrist
- Lower Limb - 3 segments: thigh, leg, and foot
