Cooper's fascia

Fascia is a group of muscles that control body movement and are involved in maintaining posture. Fascia is a tendon made of connective tissue that connects muscles. It is responsible for muscle movement and prevents overexertion.

Cooper's fascia is a fairly large tricuspid horseshoe-shaped cartilaginous body located on the forehead of the skull in the orbital area. It consists of two fixed and one moving parts. In the form of a bony ring, which is held from displacement by a petrosal bracket and the ridge of the petrosal body. Strong articular ligaments connect both ends of the bone to the frontal process of the maxilla. The moving part of Cooper's fascia, together with the fixed part, forms a bony trust on which the innervation and blood supply of the eyes are maintained.
