The superficial space of the body typically refers to the layer of muscles located just beneath the skin, primarily consisting of the superficial muscles of the trunk, limbs, and neck. Key muscles in this space include the pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, and the deltoids in the upper body, as well as the rectus abdominis and external obliques in the abdomen. These muscles are primarily responsible for movements and stability of the body, and they play a significant role in posture and locomotion. Additionally, this layer contains connective tissue and adipose tissue, providing insulation and protection.
