Meaning of the Solid and Liquid Fascia to Reconsider the Model of Biotensegrity

While the solid fascial tissue divides, supports, and connects the different parts of the body system, the liquid fascial tissue feeds and transports messages for the solid fascia. This article reconsiders the model of biotensegrity, by revising the definition of solid and liquid fascia, and tries to integrate the fascial continuum with the lymph and blood in a new model, because in the previous model, these two liquid elements were not taken into consideration. The name given to this new model is Rapid Adaptability of Internal Network (RAIN). (View Highlight)

The ordinary movements of the body are possible thanks to the presence of fascial tissues and their inseparable interconnection that allows the sliding of the muscular framework, the sliding of nerves and vessels between contractile districts and joints, as well as all the sliding and movements of organs, as influenced by the position of the body (View Highlight)

We can subdivide the fascial tissue into solid and liquid fascia. The first includes all that is considered connective tissue, while the second only includes what is considered specialized connective tissue: blood and lymph (View Highlight)
