MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -The hypodermis is the bottom layer of skin in your body. It has many important functions, including storing energy, connecting the dermis layer of your skin to your muscles and bones, insulating your body and protecting your body from harm.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hypodermis houses blood vessels and nerves by which it provides nutrients and sensation for the layers above. The subcutaneous fat stores energy, provides insulation for thermal regulation of the body, and absorbs shock from physical trauma to protect the internal organs.

Detailed explanation-3: -The hypodermis provides physical cushioning to any mechanical trauma through adipose storage, and the glands secrete protective films throughout the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Because fats are such an efficient form of energy, the body stores any excess energy as fat. The body deposits excess fat in the abdomen (visceral fat) and under the skin (subcutaneous fat) to use when it needs more energy.
