The only muscles excluded from this table are thelumbricales, four small muscles, which, from theirattachments to the tendons of the long flexor, ap-pear to be assistants to its action; and the transversus pedis, a smallmuscle placed transversely in the foot across the heads of the meta-tarsal bones, which has for its office the drawing together of the CHAPTER V. ON THE FASCIAE. Fascia (fascia, a bandage) is the name assigned to laminae of va-rious extent and thickness, which are distributed through the differentregions of the body, for the purpose of investing or protecting thesofter and more delicate organs. From a consideration of theirstructure, these fasciae maybe arranged into two groups: cellulo-fibrous fasciae, and aponeurotic fasciae. The cellulo-fibrous fascia is best illustrated in the common subcuta-neous investment of the entire body, the superficial fascia. Thisstructure is situated immediately beneath the integument over everypart of the frame, and is the medium of connexion between that layerand the deeper parts. It is composed of cellulo-fibrous tissue con-taining in its areolae an abundance of adipose cells. The fat being abad conductor of caloric, serves to retain the warmth of the body;while it forms at the same time a yielding tissue, through which theminute vessels
