Fascia superficialis · Povrchová fascie
Fascia & connective tissue
Looks like
A loose layer of connective tissue and fat just under the skin, carrying surface veins and nerves.
What it does
Joins the skin to the deeper layers while letting it slide, and stores fat.
Keeping it well
Infection spreads quickly through it: redness that spreads by the hour, with fever or pain out of proportion, is an emergency.
