Adhesions

Scar-like tissue that forms between articulating surfaces (e.g. muscle and

adjacent muscle, epimysium and deep fascia of the limbs, viscera and adjacent

structures).

Adipocytes (fat cells)

Play a role in heat preservation, storage, and provide fascia with protection from

physical trauma. Abundant in superficial fascia, adipocytes also serve as a

spacer. In some regions a layer of fascia is often separated from adjacent ones by

a thin layer of adipocytes.
