Fat is abundant in gluteal region, anterior abdominal wall and breast. {tis less in limbs. {tis absent in eye lids, penis and scrotum. Functions of superficial fascia: 4- It acts as thermal insulator; it prevents the heat loss. 2-It softens and smoothens the surface of the body. ‘3: It facilitates movement of the skin over the underlying structures. ‘a medium to conduct vessels, nerves and lymphatics to the skin } It contains skin muscles: - In the face (muscles of expression) pr ‘the palm (paimaris brevis). glands as the mammary gland, deep sweat glands & fe: nodes. oma Deep fascia brane (compact and regular) collagen fibers limbs. thick in palm and sole. and in anterior abdominal wall in place. c- Helps venous return. pta and interosseous membranes: groups with different actions & muscle attachment. wrist and anklet joints.
