GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Fascia covers and interpenetrates every muscle, bone, nerve, artery and vein, as well as all our internal organs including the heart, lungs, brain and spinal cord. If you observe a raw chicken breast up close you can see fascia. It is the smooth, shiny white layer wrapping the muscle tissue.

Detailed explanation-2: -Superficial fascia is found directly under the skin and superficial adipose layers. It can show stratification both grossly and microscopically. Traditionally, it is described as being made up of membranous layers with loosely packed interwoven collagen and elastic fibers.

Detailed explanation-3: -The fasciae of the body are divided into three layers-the superficial, deep and visceral layer.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fasciae are similar to ligaments and tendons as they are all made of collagen except that ligaments join one bone to another bone, tendons join muscle to bone and fasciae surround muscles or other structures.
