The septa are formed from the fascia which is made up of a strong type of connective tissue. The fascia also separates the skeletal muscles from the subcutaneous tissue. [2] Due to the great pressure placed on the leg, from the column of blood from the heart to the feet, the fascia is very thick in order to support the leg muscles. [3]
Intermuscular septums of the leg may refer to: Anterior intermuscular septum of leg, or anterior crural intermuscular septum is a band of fascia which separates the lateral from the anterior compartment of leg; Deep transverse fascia, also known as transverse intermuscular septum of leg
The anterior intermuscular septum of leg or anterior crural intermuscular septum is a band of fascia which separates the lateral from the anterior compartment of leg.. The deep fascia of leg gives off from its deep surface, on the lateral side of the leg, two strong intermuscular septa, the anterior and posterior peroneal septa, which enclose the peroneus longus and brevis, and separate them ...
The posterior intermuscular septum of leg or posterior crural intermuscular septum is a band of fascia which separates the lateral compartment of leg.. The deep fascia of leg gives off from its deep surface, on the lateral side of the leg, two strong intermuscular septa, the anterior and posterior peroneal septa, which enclose the peronæi longus and brevis, and separate them from the muscles ...
The deep transverse fascia or transverse intermuscular septum of leg [1] is a transversely placed, intermuscular septum, from the deep fascia, between the superficial and deep muscles of the back of the leg. At the sides it is connected to the margins of the tibia and fibula.
Intermuscular septum can refer to: medial intermuscular septum of arm; medial intermuscular septum of thigh; lateral intermuscular septum of arm; lateral intermuscular septum of thigh; anterior intermuscular septum of leg; posterior intermuscular septum of leg
Intermuscular septa separating the muscles of the arms and legs; Histological septa are seen throughout most tissues of the body, particularly where they are needed to stiffen soft cellular tissue, and they also provide planes of ingress for small blood vessels.
The fascia lata is an investment for the whole of the thigh, but varies in thickness in different parts. It is thicker in the upper and lateral part of the thigh, where it receives a fibrous expansion from the gluteus maximus, and where the tensor fasciae latae is inserted between its layers; it is very thin behind and at the upper and medial part, where it covers the adductor muscles, and ...
