Gray, Henry. 1918. Anatomy of the Human Body. Page 418 It forms part of the general layer of fascia lining the abdominal parietes, and is directly continuous with the iliac and pelvic fasciæ. In the inguinal region, the transversalis fascia is thick and dense in structure and is joined by fibers from the aponeurosis of the Transversus, but it becomes thin as it ascends to the diaphragm, and blends with the fascia covering the under surface of this muscle. Medial to the femoral vessels it is thin and attached to the pubis and pectineal line, behind the inguinal aponeurotic falx, with which it is united; it descends in front of the femoral vessels to form the anterior wall of the femoral sheath. www.bartleby.com /107/pages/page418.html   (643 words)

Fascia Biosystems - Scar Recollagenation Commonly, banked human cadaver fascia has been used to enhance the tissue volume in depressed acne scars, but this process has been successfully performed on a variety of postinflammatory and posttraumatic lesions. The insertion of allograft fascia lata into an intradermal plane is one form of recollagenation that is a convenient, effective means to restore the surface topography. Besides intradermal applications of banked human fascia lata, numerous reports have documented its efficacy as a tissue substitute since it was first introduced into the medical literature by Koontz in 1926. www.fascian.com /scarrecoll.html   (1633 words)

Spontaneous rupture of all or part of the fascia may occur in extremely high-load situations, and the natural healing of torn fascia often is complicated by painful scar formation. Patients who rupture the fascia acquire a characteristic foot deformity that is similar to pes planus: collapse of the longitudinal arch, valgus of the calcaneus, and abduction of the..... www.emedicine.com /orthoped/byname/plantar-fasciitis.htm   (636 words)

Fascia Its job is to provide a sliding and gliding environment for muscles, to suspend organs in their proper place, to transmit movement from muscle to the bones they are attached to, and to provide a supportive and moveable wrapping for nerves and blood vessels as they pass through and between muscles. Fascia, in its non-stretchy form, is the substance that makes up tendons, which attach muscle to bone, and ligaments, which attach bone to bone. Fascia in the chest will pull the ribcage down, fascia in the neck will pull the head and neck forward, the slouched position of the upper torso will change how the arm bones fit in the shoulder joints and the fascia in the shoulder area will change as a result. www.selfcare4rsi.com /fascia.html   (907 words)
