GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hair follicles: Hair follicles are areas of the epidermis and dermis that fold together to create a tube-like structure. These structures extend into the hypodermis, which is where the hair starts growing.

Detailed explanation-2: -The subcutaneous tissue, also known as the hypodermis or superficial fascia, is the layer of tissue that underlies the skin.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hypodermis consists of well-vascularized, loose, areolar connective tissue and adipose tissue, which functions as a mode of fat storage and provides insulation and cushioning for the integument.

Detailed explanation-4: -The deep cutaneous plexus is at the dermal/hypodermal junction. It supplies the fatty tissue of the hypodermis, and the deeper parts of the dermis, including the capillaries for hair follicles, deep sebaceous glands and sweat glands.
