| 1. | Some superficial lipomas can extend into deep fascia and may complicate excision.
|
| 2. | Indirect perforators first run through other structures before piercing the deep fascia.
|
| 3. | Deep fascia can relax rapidly in response to sudden muscular overload or rapid movements.
|
| 4. | Deep fascia can also relax slowly as some mechanoreceptors respond to changes over longer timescales.
|
| 5. | Like mechanoreceptors, chemoreceptors in deep fascia also have the ability to promote fascial relaxation.
|
| 6. | The high density of collagen fibers is what gives the deep fascia its strength and integrity.
|
| 7. | The deep fascia can also relax.
|
| 8. | Direct perforators only pierce the deep fascia, they don't traverse any other structural tissue.
|
| 9. | A perforator which traverses muscle before piercing the deep fascia can do that either transmuscular or transepimysial.
|
| 10. | The base of each breast is attached to the chest by the deep fascia over the pectoralis major muscles.
