MICROANATOMY

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: -Fascia is a thin casing of connective tissue that surrounds and holds every organ, blood vessel, bone, nerve fiber and muscle in place. The tissue does more than provide internal structure; fascia has nerves that make it almost as sensitive as skin. When stressed, it tightens up.

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

Detailed explanation-4: -When it’s healthy, your fascia is slippery and smooth, and it stretches with you as you move. If it’s not doing well, it can get thicker, stickier, drier, and tighter. Because fascia is so important to your body’s functions, problems with it can cause you a lot of pain.

Detailed explanation-5: -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.
