SURFACE LAYERS OF BODY
1. Skin or epidermis
2. Superficial fascia
Layer of loose fatty connective tissue underlying the dermis & binding it to parts beneath
Sensory nerves for skin run through it
Contains veins, arteries & lymphatic vessels
Varies in thickness across body
3. Deep fascia
Little network of fascia between muscles
o When someone damages the muscle, often damages fascia as well
Layer of dense fibrous tissue which surrounds individual muscles & divide groups of muscles
into fascial compartments
Attaches to bone
Intermuscular septa - runs between muscles
At wrist & ankle deep fascia is found & forms retinacula → thick fibrous band around groups
of tendons that holds them in place
→ function to stabilize tendon
CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM
Supply oxygen & nutrients
o Oxygenated blood = arteries
o Deoxygenated blood = veins
Lungs get deoxygenated blood from veins
