Tenon's fascia

Tenon's fascia - (ancient Greek τενόν "cord, bowstring" and ὠγος "fascia, cord") - facial muscles that move the corner of the mouth when closing, inhaling and yawning. Fascia (connective tissue bridges) fills the periarticular bursa surrounding the capsule of the hip joint above and below, then originates in the posterior part of the interarticular space, is supplied with nerve branches from the femoral-genital nerve and is attached to the edge of the external auditory canal. They are also attached to the floor of the auriculotemporal fossa (“bar”) and serve as a guide for most intramedullary injection procedures (eg, baclofen administration). In 2016, the possible role of Tenova's fascia was shown as the site of receptors that suppress the gag reflex.
