Anteromedially, it blends with the epimysium of some facial muscles; [3] a link between facial muscles and the skin of the face is thereby established, enabling facial expression. [2]: 429 Over the parotid gland, the SMAS is firmly united with the superficial layer of parotid fascia. [4]
Acrogeria (Gottron's syndrome) is a skin condition characterized by premature aging, typically in the form of unusually fragile, thin skin on the hands and feet (distal extremities). [ 1 ] This is one of the classic congenital premature aging syndromes, occurring early in life, others being pangeria ( Werner's syndrome ) and progeria ...
Superficial fascia is the lowermost layer of the skin in nearly all of the regions of the body, that blends with the reticular dermis layer. [13] It is present on the face , over the upper portion of the sternocleidomastoid , at the nape of the neck and overlying the breastbone . [ 14 ]
Put simply, face mapping is the process of connecting the location of your skin condition—in this scenario, acne—to your body’s organs or internal systems.
The human skin is the outer covering of the body and is the largest organ of the integumentary system. The skin has up to seven layers of ectodermal tissue guarding muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs. Human skin is similar to most of the other mammals' skin, and it is very similar to pig skin.

The skin weighs an average of four kilograms, covers an area of two square metres, and is made of three distinct layers: the epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue. [1] The two main types of human skin are: glabrous skin, the hairless skin on the palms and soles (also referred to as the "palmoplantar" surfaces), and hair-bearing skin. [3]
In neuroanatomy, topographic map is the ordered projection of a sensory surface (like the retina or the skin) or an effector system (like the musculature) to one or more structures of the central nervous system. Topographic maps can be found in all sensory systems and in many motor systems.
