It eventually pierces the deep fascia near the back of the wrist.

There is still some debate as to whether it is deep fascia or an aponeurosis.

Indirect perforators first run through other structures before piercing the deep fascia.

It is located between the superficial and the deep fascia, called the saphenous compartment.

The high density of collagen fibers is what gives the deep fascia its strength and integrity.

Deep fascia can also relax slowly as some mechanoreceptors respond to changes over longer timescales.

The base of each breast is attached to the chest by the deep fascia over the pectoralis major muscles.

The fascia lata is the deep fascia of the thigh.

Direct perforators only pierce the deep fascia, they don't traverse any other structural tissue.

The deep fascia can also relax.

Deep fascia can relax rapidly in response to sudden muscular overload or rapid movements.

Together, these fibrous layers, along with tendons and ligaments, constitute the deep fascia of the body.

Like mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors in deep fascia also have the ability to promote fascial relaxation.

Deep fascia can contract.

This reinforcement process causes the cells to swell in their Deep fascia and put pressure on nerves and arteries, producing pain.

Deep fascia is less extensible than superficial fascia.

The intact ligament suspends the breast from the clavicle and the underlying deep fascia of the upper chest.

It involves a C-section type incision but full tightening of the deep fascia without translocation of the umbilicus.

Perforator veins are special veins which cross the deep fascia draining the superficial venous system into the deep one.

Fasciocutaneous flaps add subcutaneous tissue and deep fascia, resulting in a more robust blood supply and ability to fill a larger defect.

By monitoring changes in muscular tension, joint position, rate of movement, pressure, and vibration, mechanoreceptors in the deep fascia are capable of initiating relaxation.
