load from multiple directions

What are the characteristics of aponeurotic fascia? - Answer Aponeurotic fascia,
especially retinacula around joints, is highly innervated with Pacinian and Ruffini
corpuscles which may play a role in proprioceptive function
Hyaluranan is the lubricant which allows aponeurotic fascia to glide relative to
surrounding tissues during movement
Includes myofascial expansions that transmit forces from one region to another across
a distance
What muscles tie directly into the thoracolumbar fascia - Answer Internal oblique
Latissimus dorsi

type III collagen
Fibroblasts differentiate into myoblasts and play a role in wound contraction
What are the characteristics of aponeurotic fascia vs epimysial fascia? - Answer Has a
well-defined fibrous sheath
transmits tension and muscular forces over a distance
contains a significat amount of hyaluranan (epimysial too)
connected to underlying muscles via myofascial expansions
What are the characteristics of epimysial fascia? - Answer Contains a significant amount
of hyaluranan
has a tight adherence to underlying muscles
transmits forces between adjacent synergistic muscle fiber bundles
What is the role of fascia in motor control? - Answer Due to its intimate relationship to
the muscle, epimysial fascia play a role in proprioception based on relationship to
muscle spindles
Myofascial expansions allow reciprocal feedback between muscles and fascia
Aponeurotic fascia is well innervated with mechanoreceptors, especially in the joint
retinaculae providing proprioceptive information about joint position

Answer Superficial burn affecting the epidermis
Deep Partial-Thickness burn with slow capillary refill
Which types of burns need for skin grafting for healing potential? - Answer Subdermal
burn with invasion into muscle
Full thickness burn with no blanching
Superficial Partial-Thickness burn with blanchable erythema
