subcutaneous fascia

0.01 sec.

subcutaneous fascia,

a continuous layer of connective tissue over the entire body between the skin and the deep fascial investment of the specialized structures of the body, such as the muscles. It comprises an outer normally fatty layer and an inner thin elastic layer. Between the two layers lie superficial blood vessels, nerves, lymphatics, the mammary glands, most of the facial muscles, and the platysma. Also called subcutaneous layer. Compare deep fascia, subserous fascia.
