covers the body externally and has three layers
(epidermis, dermis, hypodermis)
Skin
covers muscle, specializations include the superficial and deep layers
Fascia
note organization from slide views and consists of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac divisions
Muscle
skeleton consists of an axial skeleton (skull, spine, and thorax) and an appendicular skeleton (upper/ lower limbs)
Bone
The panniculus adiposis along with its underlying superficial membranous fascia are referred to as
tela subcutanea
