Notes
TA98 footnote Fascia visceralis. Fascia parietalis is a generic term for the fascia which lies outside the parietal layer of a serosa (pericardium, peritoneum, pleura or tunica vaginalis testis) and lines the wall of a body cavity. Fascia parietalis may be or may not be a separate layer from the fascia investiens profunda outside it and/or the tela subserosa parietalis inside it. Fascia visceralis is a generic term for the fascia which lies immediately outside the visceral layer of the serosae together with that which immediately surrounds the viscera. Fascia visceralis may or may not be a separate layer from the tela subserosa visceralis. Fascia extraserosalis is a generic term of exclusion for any other fascia which lies inside the fascia parietalis and outside the fascia visceralis. The most obvious fascia extraserosalis is in the pelvis where it forms ligaments, such as the cardinal ligament of the uterus.
