It is thinner and more membranous in character than the superficial fascia of Camper, and contains a considerable quantity of orange elastic fibers.. It is loosely connected by areolar tissue to the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle, but in the midline it is more intimately adherent to the linea alba and the pubic symphysis, and in the male, it is prolonged on to the dorsum of the ...
These parts of the superficial fascia are most prominent in the lower aspect of the abdominal wall below the level of the umbilicus. Camper's fascia is continuous inferiorly with the superficial fascia of the thigh. Medial and inferior to the pubic tubercle, in the male, Scarpa's fascia changes as it continues over the scrotum and forms dartos ...
The membranous layer or stratum membranosum is the deepest layer of subcutaneous tissue.The basement membrane separates the membranous layer from the dermis. It is a fusion of fibres into a homogeneous layer below the adipose tissue, for example, superficial to muscular fascias.
Camper's fascia (anterior part of superficial fascia) Scarpa's fascia (posterior part of the superficial fascia) Deep/posterior posterior layer of the rectus sheath (where present) are the following three layers: [citation needed] transversalis fascia [4] extraperitoneal fat [5] parietal peritoneum [4]
Microsopic image of a fascial structure (Ligamentum nuchae). A fascia (/ ˈ f æ ʃ (i) ə /; pl.: fasciae / ˈ f æ ʃ i i / or fascias; [1] adjective fascial; from Latin band) is a generic term for macroscopic membranous bodily structures. [2]: 42 Fasciae are classified as superficial, visceral or deep, and further designated according to ...
The SMAS is clinically important in facial plastic surgery for rhytidectomy (facelift procedure).During this procedure, the SMAS is accessed through an arch-shaped incision anterior to the ear; a portion of the SMAS is then excised and the remaining SMAS is stretched by drawing it posterior-ward and suturing it, thus making the skin of the face which overlies the SMAS taut.
The facial skeleton comprises the facial bones that may attach to build a portion of the skull. [1] The remainder of the skull is the neurocranium.. In human anatomy and development, the facial skeleton is sometimes called the membranous viscerocranium, which comprises the mandible and dermatocranial elements that are not part of the braincase.
The femoral triangle (or Scarpa's triangle) is an anatomical region of the upper third of the thigh. It is a subfascial space which appears as a triangular depression below the inguinal ligament when the thigh is flexed, abducted and laterally rotated.
