you need to purchase a NCLEX book to help you with your homework. that’s just too many questions to answer.
these are CORRECT
1. Superficial fascia of muscle:
a. is found between the skeletal muscles and the bones
b. provides a route for lymphatic and blood vessels as well as nerves to enter muscles*** ( * Superficial fascia
is found in the subcutis in most regions of the body, blending with the reticular layer of the dermis. [2] It is present on the face, over the upper portion of the sternocleidomastoid, at the nape of the neck, and overlying the sternum. [3] It is comprised mainly of loose areolar connective tissue and adipose and is the layer that primarily determines the shape of a body. In addition to its subcutaneous presence, this type of fascia surrounds organs and glands, neurovascular bundles, and is found at many other locations where it fills otherwise unoccupied space. It serves as a storage medium of fat and water; as a passageway for lymph, nerve and blood vessels; and as a protective padding to cushion and insulate. –wikipedia)
c. stores most of the body’s proteins
d. is composed primarily of dense connective tissue
e. promotes heat loss
5. The calcaneal (Achilles) tendon is formed by the fusion of the tendons of the:
