Study Notes

Superficial Fascia

A layer of loose connective tissue located directly below the skin.
Acts as a medium for vessels, nerves, and glands, including mammary glands and the deep part of sweat glands.
Softens the body surface and facilitates movement of the skin.
Contains a reservoir of fat, which helps prevent heat loss.
Forms retinacula, aponeurosis, and intermuscular septa, which help support and organize muscles and tendons.
Forms interosseous membranes, which are sheets of connective tissue that separate muscles in the limbs.

Deep Fascia

A membrane made up of collagen fibers.
Forms fibrous sheaths around muscles, tendons, and vessels.
Creates fibrous median raphe and fibrous pulleys, which are structures that help guide and support tendons.
Can form broadsheets that enclose and separate muscle groups.
