twisted are due to the development stages in embryology.<\/li><li>Acetabular labrum is an extension of hyaline cartilage in order to increase the surface\/contact area for a better fit with the femoral head.<\/li><li>There is superficial fascia, adipose layer, cutaneous nerves-arteries-veins. These are all very superfiscial.<\/li><li>Then before you get down to business in the muscles, there&#8217;s a deep fascia that acts as an organizer to bundle things up and keep things tidy. The deep fascia organizes not only by compartment, but also by &#8220;layers&#8221;. E.g. there might be a middle layer of muscle, then there may be another layer of muscle\/compartments underneath that middle layer. Fascial compartments also help to separate muscles, nerves, veins and arteries by &#8220;likeness&#8221; or function.<\/li><li>When going from superficial to deeper layers, look for those openings\/holes\/hiatus etc. that connects the more superficial layer to the more deep layer. Usually those openings are for nerves-veins-arteries to pass through and &#8220;join up&#8221; somewhere or diverge and feed\/supply another area.<\/li><li>Fascia lata is the deep fascia of the thigh.<\/li><li>The thigh has 3 compartments: anterior, medial, and posterior.<\/li><li>Muscles in the same compartment are usually (but not always) innervated by one nerve.<\/li><li>Important nerves\/vessels\/etc. are deeper for protection. E.g. You don&#8217;t want some major artery so close to the skin that it runs a very high risk of getting severed frequently (that just isn&#8217;t smart design).<\/li><li>Sesamoid bones typically add mechanical advantage.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>References<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Biel,&nbsp;A.
