Fascia can be classified as superficial, deep, visceral, or parietal and further classified according to anatomical location.
1️⃣ Superficial Fascia is found directly under the skin and is thicker in the trunk than in the limbs and becomes thinner peripherally
2️⃣ Deep Fascia surrounds bones, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. It is commonly has a more fibrous consistency and rich in hyaluronan
3️⃣ Visceral Fascia surrounds organs in cavities like the abdomen, lung and heart
4️⃣ Parietal Fascia tissues that line the wall of a body cavity just outside of the parietal layer of serosa
Fascia may appear passive structurally but are, in fact, active. They can provide support for surrounding tissues, help reduce friction, and play a supportive role for the tissues and organs. Fascia can transmit mechanical tension generated by muscular activity or external forces.
