There are many debates about fascia—what it is, what it includes, and what its function truly is. Many definitions are used to describe and categorise this tissue, which I believe is impossible. It is a continuous tissue that is everywhere and manifests in many forms, from loose areolar tissue to highly organised tendons; from continuous tissue that connects parts, allows for force transmission, to areas where it disconnects and allows gliding and sliding.
The picture shows what I observe during my equine dissections.
I see the fibrillary network, filmed by J. C. Guimberteau.
And I see the ‘matrix’ described, I believe, by Stephen Lewin – “Fascia is the fabric of the body; not the vestments covering the corpus but material that gives it the form: the warp and the weft. Muscles and bone, liver, lung, gut, urinary, brain and endocrine are all embroidered in the fascial web.
