Talk:Fascia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

superficial fascia varies in thickness under dermis. Does the deep vary? need for anatomy question.

Most recent edit took most of its information directly (cut and paste) from http://www.windsongtherapy.com/Articles/Fascia/fascia.html. Reverting for that reason. There is some valid information to be included, but needs to be done so that copyright is not infringed upon. Nyxie 05:41, 8 Nov 2004 (UTC)

This article is in need of major work. I've marked it as a stub for that reason --Mattopaedia 02:26, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation of "fascia"

There may be a couple of mistakes in the explanation of how to pronounce "fascia". The article says that the "a" should be pronounced like the [second] "a" in "Natasha", which is called here a "long-a".

First of all, "Natasha" is not pronounced the same way by native English speakers across all regions or countries. Americans, for example, will likely agree that the second "a" in "Natasha" and the "a" in "father" rhyme, while many native speakers in the UK will probably say the sounds are different.

Secondly, it can probably be argued quite well that the term "long-a" generally refers to the "a" in "cake" or "wait" rather than the first vowel sound in "father".

The beginning of the article deals with pronunciation in the best way possible, by using an international phonetic script. The note on "Natasha" is confusing for a global audience and should be deleted.

[edit] Three Types of Dense Connective Tissue?

I've changed this to four, in order to include aponeuroses, but even so I'm not sure if it's true or if it even makes any sense-- especially since tendons, ligaments, and aponeuroses can all be continuous with deep fascia, and even more so because I'm sure there is some visceral dense connective tissue somewhere in the body that wouldn't fit this categorization.
