Lamina superficialis fasciae cervicalis · Povrchový list krční povázky
Fascia & connective tissue
Looks like
The outer sleeve of tough tissue wrapping the whole neck under the skin, splitting to enclose the large neck muscles and glands.
What it does
Holds neck structures together and forms compartments that guide how they slide on each other.
Keeping it well
Its compartments can limit or channel infection; neck swelling with fever and trouble swallowing or breathing is urgent.
