GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The bottom layer is the hypodermis. It contains fat cells, or adipose tissue, that insulate the body and help conserve heat. Between the epidermis and hypodermis is the dermis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hypodermis is the innermost layer of the skin. It stores fat and energy, pads and protects the body, attaches skin to the bones and muscle, and is very important in maintaining body temperature. This layer of the skin thins with age, increasing the risk for hypothermia or heat exhaustion.

Detailed explanation-3: -Other components of the hypodermis include: Blood vessels, fibrous bands that hold the skin to the deep fascia, collagen, and elastin fibers that connect the subcutaneous tissue to the dermis are also part of the hypodermis. The subcutaneous tissue connects the dermis with the nervous system.
