12 Μαρ 2023 · Among the many functions of fascia considered in detail are its ectoskeletal role (acting as a soft tissue skeleton for muscle attachments), its importance for creating osteofascial muscle compartments, assisting venous return in the lower limb, decreasing stress concentration at entheses, and acting as a protective sheet for underlying structures.
This fascicular organization is common in muscles of the limbs; it allows the nervous system to trigger a specific movement of a muscle by activating a subset of muscle fibers within a fascicle of the muscle. Inside each fascicle, each muscle fiber is encased in a thin connective tissue layer of collagen and reticular fibers called the endomysium.
