| parotid fascia | The part of the investing cervical fascia that ensheaths the parotid gland and is fixed above to the zygomatic arch. Synonym: fascia parotidea, fibrous capsule of parotid gland, parotid sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |
| visceral pelvic fascia | Covers the pelvic organs and surrounds vessels and nerves in the subperitoneal space. Synonym: endopelvic fascia, fascia pelvis visceralis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| pharyngobasilar fascia | The fibrous coat of the pharyngeal wall situated between the mucous and muscular coats; it is attached above to the basilar part of the occipital bone, and the petrous part of the temporal bone. This layer and the mucosa which lines it forms the wall of the non-muscular pharynx (pharyngeal vault) above the superior pharyngesl constrictor muscle.

It includes the muscular fascia which envelops the subclavius and pectoralis minor muscles and the strong membrane (costocoracoid membrane) formed in the interval between them, and the suspensory ligament of the axilla. The clavipectoral fascia (and the muscles it envelopes) constitute the deep anterior wall of the axilla. Synonym: fascia clavipectoralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| phrenicopleural fascia | The thin layer of endothoracic fascia intervening between the diaphragmatic pleura and the diaphragm. Synonym: fascia phrenicopleuralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
