Pronunciation of "fascia"

There may be a couple of mistakes in the explanation of how to pronounce "fascia". The article says that the "a" should be pronounced like the [second] "a" in "Natasha", which is called here a "long-a".

First of all, "Natasha" is not pronounced the same way by native English speakers across all regions or countries. Americans, for example, will likely agree that the second "a" in "Natasha" and the "a" in "father" rhyme, while many native speakers in the UK will probably say the sounds are different.

Secondly, it can probably be argued quite well that the term "long-a" generally refers to the "a" in "cake" or "wait" rather than the first vowel sound in "father".

The beginning of the article deals with pronunciation in the best way possible, by using an international phonetic script. The note on "Natasha" is confusing for a global audience and should be deleted.

Three Types of Dense Connective Tissue?

I've changed this to four, in order to include aponeuroses, but even so I'm not sure if it's true or if it even makes any sense-- especially since tendons, ligaments, and aponeuroses can all be continuous with deep fascia, and even more so because I'm sure there is some visceral dense connective tissue somewhere in the body that wouldn't fit this categorization. Kajerm 22:08, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

After reading the fascia and aponeurosis articles I am not clear on the difference between the two. Both fascia and aponeurosis seem to be sheaths or coverings. The only difference I could determine is that fascia covers muscles, organs and joints whereas aponeurosis covers only muscles. Since both pages refer to each other I think someone who knows should add some more distinction. Mbarden 16:10, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

....................

I have removed the following "Myofascia Myofascia is defined as a layer of loose but strong connective tissue often containing fat covering and investing all muscles; an aponeurosis. The intrinsic connection between muscles and muscle fibers with connective tissue, fascia."

This term is a questionable one and I can not find a reliable source for its use. It's use seems to be restricted to a certain branch of alternative medicine, Myofascial Release. The terms "Deep Fascia" and "Fascia of the Muscles" are more appropriate terms in gross anatomy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.177.153.18 (talk) 14:57, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Fascia is not the first line of defense...

against pathogenic agents and infections (which is redundant, BTW). The dermis, otherwise known as "skin" is the first line of defense as regarded by western empirical medicine. Furthermore, the fascia acts in conjunction with the vascular system to enable tissue repair. Solace098 16:31, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

cleaned vandalism

someone added the line "this is not correct" to the end of the "Three layers of the fascia" section. I took the liberty of removing this line as it was clearly an attempt of vandalism. Please make sure wikipedia's vandalism bot doesn't go back and undo my change as it has done this several times in the past when I attempted to fix vandalism. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.18.101.38 (talk) 23:08, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for helping fight vandalism. Registering or signing in would lower the probability of having your edits reverted (whether by a bot or an editor). – voidxor ^{(talk | contrib)} 23:12, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Silver skin

Silver skin redirects here, but there's no discussion of it. There is some culinary relevance to the matter, but this article solely discusses human anatomy. That needs to be fixed. --Kevin W. 19:07, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand this Article.

I just got through reading and skimming the Article Extracellular matrix and I thought this sounds like Fascia. So I came back to this Article.

I have seen only one published research paper purporting to have proven the existence of the underlying bodily system called fascia. This is the system that Massage Therapists like to release. This Article (fortunately) has little to say on this system.

Yet the diagnosis Plantar Fasciitis (Wikipedia spelling) is a very common one. And that Article has an extremely large *fanclub*.

I have nothing to contribute (as usual); I would suggest that if there are really a number of important fascia structures in the mammalian body-- perhaps each should be treated individually at this point. Seems this Article mentions only 3 structures. TheLordSayeth (talk) 10:41, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

I sympathise. I also had to do some re-reading and was left with reservations. That such tissue exists is certain; ask any butcher, let alone dissectionist. The description and discussion in the article need a lot of work. It is not clear for one thing whether there is an element of spam or at least of POV to the article; there certainly seems to be some partisan text on such subjects on the WWW, and some of the article's passages are quite evocative of that material. It would be nice if some literate professional human physiologist or histologist could weigh in and do some cleaning up. JonRichfield (talk) 14:44, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Superficial fascia

This article, split from Fascia, has not significantly expanded in the last 5 years. Instead, the series of "fascia" articles confusingly duplicate information, which makes it hard to understand and hard for readers to navigate. Merging the information into a single article reduces duplication, and aids the reader by providing the context of other types of fascia. Information can be merged into a subsection of the article and, if needed in the future, could be re-expanded as a separate article. Tom (LT) (talk) 23:22, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

• Merge, as it could easily fit in a level-2 section heading. – voidxor ^{(talk | contrib)} 02:03, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Visceral fascia

As above. Tom (LT) (talk) 23:23, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

• Merge, as it could easily fit in a level-2 section heading. – voidxor ^{(talk | contrib)} 02:03, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Deep fascia

As above -- can easily be represented in a 'Function' section Tom (LT) (talk) 23:23, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

• Don't merge, as there is too much information on that page to fit in a single section. Create a Deep fascia section with a single-paragraph summary and the {{Main}} hatnote at the top. – voidxor ^{(talk | contrib)} 02:03, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

dont change this this is too good to be changed bcaue i am cool and no one else is better than me thats a fact

Myofascia and Myofascial

Myofascia, Myofascial, and Myofascial pain syndrome redirect here, although it's not apparent why because there's no boldface mention of those terms per MOS:BOLD. Would somebody with more medical knowledge than myself please work these terms into the article and boldface them at their first instance? – voidxor ^{(talk | contrib)} 23:28, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
