 fasciae are thickened condensations of fibroelastic
connective tissue that separate various movable
structures from one another.
 Spaces between layers of fascia are filled with a
loose type of connective tissue that permits
infection to spread from one locale to another with
relative ease.
 Because infection may travel along these fascial
sheets, the clinician should possess a working
knowledge of their locations, extent, and
intercommunications.
