Name the two layers of fascia and characteristics of each
superficial - loose, fatty
deep - thin fibrous, no fat
Extrinsic:
muscle hat has it's origins outside an organ or part
ie: muscles in forearm run hand
Intrinsic:
muscle that has its' origins outside an organ or part
ie: muscles in hand run hand
Process:
used for muscle attachment
Facet
smooth spot located on a process
fossa
depression
foramen
hole or opening
