Shoulder Fascia

Fascia in anatomy: definition, structure and function

Fascia, or fascial tissue, is one of the most common types of connective tissue in the human body. It is made up of fibrous structures that provide support, protection and connection to various organs and structures in the body. Fascia is found in most parts of the body and performs important functions necessary for the functioning of the body as a whole. In this article we will look at what fascia is, what role it plays in the shoulder joint, and what consequences can be caused by damage or deficiency.

What is fascia? Fascia is an important component of the human musculoskeletal system and serves to provide flexibility, stability, and support to the body during movement. They are elastic and dense fibrous tissues having a three-dimensional structure filled with a matrix of matter. The most well-known fascial structures are tendons, fasciae, and aponeuroses. Their functions include providing support and protection for internal organs and muscles, and connecting multiple components (such as bones, muscles, and skin) within the body. It is important to understand that fascia is not a separate organ, but is a thick cellular tissue that connects various organs and tissues of the body. The structures of the shoulder also have fascia, which is a vital component of the joint. Shoulder fascia

Structure and functions The fascia of the shoulder is the fascial layer consisting of aponeuroses and ligaments, attached to the humerus, radius and ulna, as well as to the skin. This structure plays a critical role in the stability and functionality of the shoulder joint by providing support for the nerves, blood vessels, and other important components of the shoulder. In addition, the fascia protects internal organs from injury and damage, ensures free circulation of blood and lymph.
