Ultrasound image of the tissue layers of the thigh. Here the space between the layers is much more visible than in Figure 3. Normal functioning of structures (muscles, nerves, blood vessels, organs, etc.) relies on the integrity of this spacing in the nearby fascial layers, as well as the associated slide between the layers.
