The mesoscopic concept in continuum mechanics consists of extending the domain of the balance equations by the set of mesoscopic variables and of introducing a local distribution function of these variables as a statistical element. The mesoscopic balance equations defined on this extended domain are considered. The liquid crystals theory of uniaxial molecules represents one example of mesoscopic continuum mechanics.
