Correct Answer: Orbit
Description: Ans. d. Orbit The superficial fascia is a continuous sheet, of areolar tissue which underlies the skin of the whole body. It is closely adherent to the cutis vera, and is sometimes termed panniculus adiposus, from the fact that, except beneath the skin of the eyelids, penis, and scrotum it is usually more or less impregnated with fat. Fascia Beneath the skin there are two (or in some regions three) layers of tissue which require consideration in relation to the muscular system: Superficial fascia (panniculus adiposus) Deep fascia In animals, the panniculus carnosus (rudimentary in man, represented chiefly by the platysma in the neck). Fascia Superficialis (Superficial fascia) The superficial fascia is a continuous sheet, of areolar tissue, which underlies the skin of the whole body. It is closely adherent to the cutis vera, and is sometimes termed panniculus adiposus, from the fact that, except beneath the skin of the eyelids, penis, and scrotum it is usually more or less impregnated with fate. The cutaneous vessels and nerves ramify in this fascia; and its deep surface, membranous in character, is in loose connection with the subjacent deep fascia Fascia profunda (Deep fascia) Underneath the skin and superficial fascia is a fibrous membrane, bluish white in colour, devoid of fat, and in closest relation to skeleton, ligaments, and muscles. This is the deep fascia. It covers, invests, and in some cases forms the means of attachment of the various muscles
