Beneath the hypodermis are the deep and epimysial fasciae. Fig. 1.2. Microscopic image of th e fasciae of the thigh (25x, Haematoxilin-Eosin stain). The Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology (FCAT) defines the fascia as either a mem­ brane or another aggregation of connective tissue. In this image, it is evident that the fasciae are more complex than this definition: • superficial fascia (A) • aponeurotic fascia (B) • epimysial fascia (C) • muscular tissue (D). 3 ANATOMY OF THE FASCIA Superficial fascia CHAPTER 1 Fig. 1.3. Superficial fascia, re­ gion of the back, being pulled while attached to a dynanometer. Before breaking, the membranous layer of the superficial fascia in the back exhibits a resistance to stretch of approximately 8 kg in a longitudinal direction and 6 kg in a transversal direction. The abdom­ L ^ inal fascia has a resistance of 2.8 kg in a longitudinal direction and 5.5 kg in a transversal direction; the fascia of the limbs exhibits a resistance ranging from 1.4 kg to 1.7 kg. o CD Fig. 1.4. Nerve within the su­ perficial fascia (immuno-histo- Q </> chemical stain S100, 250x). n Many nerves pass within the su­ Q perficial fascia; in part, these nerves innervate the superficial fascia itself and, in part, they perforate it to reach the skin. The structure and function of the receptors that inner­ vate the skin differ from those that innervate the hypodermis. Fig. 1.5. Superficial fascia of the leg, pulled upwards to highlight the underlying deep fascia. The superficial fascia has the role of: • facilitating mobility of skin with respect to the deeper planes or layers • protecting the superficial ves­ sels (venous and lymphatic) and nerves • separating exteroception, which pertains to the skin, from pro­ prioception, which pertains to the deep fascia. ANATOMY OF THE FASCIA Superficial fascia Fig. 1.6. The adipose layer of the hypodermis, after removal of the skin from the anterior left trunk region. In the abdomen, the superficial fascia known as Scarpa's fascia is found beneath the adipose tissue. Camper has described a second membranous layer of abdominal superficial fascia; this layer actually corresponds to the retinaculum cutis superficialis. In the abdomen, the retinacula of this layer are lying almost parallel to the skin. Fig. 1.7. Superficial fascia over the right latissimus dorsi, pulled upwards by forceps. Anatomy Anatomy of the fascia The superficial fascia in the pos­ terior trunk region is a fibrous, resistant lamina that extends in a homogeneous manner from the neck to the gluteal region. Along the spinous processes, it adheres to the skin; in a transverse direc­ tion, however, it adheres to the underlying muscles to form specific quadrants for each body segment. Fig. 1.8. Superficial fascia on the right side of the neck, with some fibres of the platysma muscle. The superficial fascia in the neck surrounds the platysma muscle and it continues, without inter­ ruption, into the thorax, where it also surrounds and includes the mammary gland. The platysma continues up to the face, inserting onto the mimic muscles that are also comprised within the superfi­ cial fascia. 5 ANATOMY OF THE FASCIA Superficial fascia CHAPTER 1 Fig. 1.9. Mimic muscles in the face, comprised within the su­ perficial fascia. The superficial fascia in the face presents three different conforma­ tions: • it contains some mimic muscles that insert onto the skin • it contains other mimic muscles that insert onto bones • it covers the deep muscles (e.g. masseter) that originate and in­ sert onto bones. o CD Fig. 1.10. Superficial fascia, me­ dial region of left leg, comprising Q to greater saphenous vein. n Along the limbs, the membranous Q layer of the superficial fascia com­ prises the more superficial blood and lymphatic vessels. If the three layers of the hypoder- mis become rigid, then densifica- tion can slow blood return, causing varicose vein formations, as well as the flow of lymph, causing oedema to form. Fig. 1.11. Sole of the foot, with close-packed adipose tissue in a thick web of collagen fibres (reti­ naculum cutis superficialis). The superficial fascia adheres to the deep fascia in the palms of the hand and the soles of the feet. Therefore, the deep layer of loose connective tissue, which normally permits gliding, is absent in these areas. Here, the retinaculum cutis superficialis adheres firmly to the skin guaranteeing that the skin does not slide on the deep fascia. 6 Deep fascia of ANATOMY OF THE FASCIA the limbs Fig. 1.12.

In anatomy texts, the muscular fas­ cia is illustrated as if it were a con­ tainer for the various muscles, and no distinction is made between aponeurotic fascia and epimysial fascia. Furthermore, the insertions of muscles onto the overlying apo­ neurotic fascia have never been illustrated in these texts. Fig. 1.14. Antebrachial fascia, which partially extends over the flexor carpi radialis and partially provides origin for this muscle. In anatomical texts, the origins of muscles from the overlying apo­ neurotic fascia have only been de­ scribed but never illustrated. In this photograph, it can be seen how the aponeurotic fascia of the forearm gives origin to many muscle fibres of the flexor carpi radialis. Deep fascia of ANATOMY OF THE FASCIA the limbs CHAPTER 1 Fig. 1.15. Fascia lata, with its multidirectional collagen fibres. The fascia of the limbs is illustrated in anatomical texts without high­ lighting the arrangement of the collagen fibres. The presence of loose connective tissue interposed between the adjacent layers of collagen fibres allows each layer to L ^ move in an independent manner. O CD Fig. 1.16.

They are comprised within the aponeu­ rotic fascia and are in continuity with the multilayered spiral-form collagen fibres. All of the retinacula around the ankle, wrist, knee, and so forth, give origin to muscular fibres, which, in turn, tension the retinacula.

In direct contact with the outside environment, the skin helps to maintain four essential bodily functions: ① retention of moisture and prevention of permeation or loss of other molecules, ② regulation of body temperature, ③ protection of the body from microbes and harmful external influences, and ④ sensation. To understand cutaneous biology and skin diseases, it is very important to learn the structure and functions of normal human skin. A. Skin surface The skin surface is not smooth, but is laced with multiple net- works of fine grooves called sulci cutis. These can be deep or shallow. The slightly elevated areas that are surrounded by shal- lower areas of sulci cutis are called cristae cutis. Sweat pores fed crista cutis by the sweat glands open to the cristae cutis (Fig. 1.1). The orientation of the sulci cutis, which differs depending on body location, is called the dermal ridge pattern. Fingerprints and sulcus cutis patterns on the palms and soles, which are unique to each person, are formed by the sulci cutis.

  • The Biophysical Modeling of the Human Tegument
    International Research Journal of Pharmacy and Medical Sciences ISSN (Online): 2581-3277 The Biophysical Modeling of the Human Tegument Janos Vincze, Gabriella Vincze-Tiszay Health Human International Environment Foundation, Budapest, Hungary Email address: [email protected] Abstract— Sensory organs are parts of our body, which collect and transmit information to the central nervous system about the outside world, and about the internal condition of our body. The body collects information by millions of microscopic structures, the so-called receptor cells. These can be found in almost all parts of the body, skin, muscle, joints, internal organs, in the walls of blood-vessels and in specialized organs such as the eye or the inner ear. There are numerous types of receptor cells in the skin. Some of them register mechanical stress or pressure, others the position and displacement of sensory hairs. Different stimulation cause different sensations, such as pain, tickling, hard or light pressure, heat or cold. The nerve fibres connected to the receptor transform stimuli above threshold into sequence of actions potentials. We modelling the action potential in the mathematical equation. Although our current knowledge regarding the mechanisms of pain development is incomplete, a number of pain-related phenomena have been discovered, which bear importance from both pathobiophysical and clinical aspects. Skin is an important receptive field, due to the numerous and various terminations of the cutaneous analyser which informs the nervous centres on the proprieties and phenomena that the body gets in contact with.

Gross anatomy: deals with those structures that can be seen without a microscope. The anatomical position:For descriptive purposes the body is always imagined to be in the anatomical position, standing erect, arms by sides, palms of hands facing forwards. Terms: Median Sagittal Plane: This is a vertical plane passing through the center of the body, dividing it into equal right and left halves. A structure situated nearer to the median plane of the body than another is said to be medial to the other. Similarly, a structure that lies farther away from the median plane than another is said to be lateral to the other. 1 cden.tu.edu.iq Tikrit University College of Dentistry .Human Anatomy 1st y د.ﺑﺎن إﺳﻤﺎﻋﯿﻞ Coronal Planes: are imaginary vertical planes at right angles to the median plane. divides the body into anterior and posterior parts. Horizontal, or Transverse, Planes : These planes are at right angles to both the median and the coronal planes. Divides the body into superior and inferior. The terms anterior and posterior are used to indicate the front and back of the body, respectively. The terms proximal and distal describe the relative distances from the roots of the limbs; for example, the arm is proximal to the forearm and the hand is distal to the forearm. The terms superficial and deep represent the relative distances of structures from the surface of the body. The terms superior and inferior represent levels relatively high or low with reference to the upper and lower ends of the body.
