I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made... Psalm 139:14
"Another new organ discovered: the human body has now become even more complex!
“A long-ignored body tissue [which] could be a new sensory organ that holds the key to tackling chronic pain.”
Furthermore, recent research on this organ is now “revealing the true
significance of a body tissue that has been overlooked by science for
centuries.” This organ is fascia (plural fasciae) which, according to Tabor’s Medical Dictionary, is a term from Latin meaning a ‘band.’ It has several functions, but its primary role is to knit our body together.
This complex fibrous membrane also functions for covering, supporting, and separating tissue.
The three kinds of fascia are the superficial fascia, located directly under the skin, the deep fascia, which wraps around the muscles and organs, and connects them to each other, and, lastly, there is the visceral fascia, which lines the body cavity and divides it into compartments to separate the body’s different organs."
