High-Yield Explanation
Fascia of anterior abdominal wallA) Superficial fasciaThe superficial fascia of anterior abdominal wall (below the level of umblicus) is divided into : Superficial fatty layer (fascia of camper or camper's fascia), and deep membraneus layer (fascia of scarpa or scarpa's fascia). The fatty layer (fascia of camper) is continuous with the superficial fascia of adjoining pa of the body.However, in the penis it is devoid of fat and in scrotum it is replaced by daos muscle, i.e., in scrotum daos muscle is present instead of fatty layer of superficial fascia.B) Deep fasciaIt is present in the form of a thin layer covering the muscles and their aponeuroses and large neurovascular structures. At superficial inguinal ring it continues over the spermatic cord as external spermatic fascia into scrotum and continue over the penis as deep fascia of penis (Buck's fascia).
