Fascia is a sheet of connective tissue that is found beneath the skin that attaches, stabilizes, encloses, and separates muscles and other internal organs.

Fascia is organized by layer, and can also be classified by location or function in the body.

In a 2016 study, abdominal superficial fascia was collected from both male and female cadavers.

[2] The differences between the mechanical properties of both UF and FT were not significant according to localization; therefore, the mechanical properties of human abdominal fascia are not controlled by the localization.

[3] Ultimately, it was found that the fascia lata at the lateral site was thicker and longitudinally directed fibers had higher rates of distribution compared to other sites.
