deep fascia


A thin fibrous membrane, devoid of fat, that invests the muscles, separating the several groups and the individual muscles, forms sheaths for the nerves and vessels, becomes specialised around the joints to form or strengthen ligaments, envelops various organs and glands, and binds all the structures together into a firm compact mass.
