|
Please describe 'superficial fascia'.
|
Lies directly under the skin. Low concentration of collagen and large amount of ground substance, so highly elastic.

What is the name of the body part that houses synovial membranes for tendon protection?
|
A bursa
|
|
|
What role does a 'joint capsule' play?
|
Encloses joints and houses synovial membranes for free joint movement
|
|
|
Explain 'tensegrity.
|
Maintains structural integrity by continuous tension and compression.
