Detailed explanation-1: -Insulation: The hypodermis insulates your body to protect you from the cold and produces sweat to regulate your body temperature, protecting you from the heat. Protecting your body: The hypodermis allows your skin to move smoothly over the tissues and muscles underneath it.
Detailed explanation-2: -The bottom layer is the hypodermis. It contains fat cells, or adipose tissue, that insulate the body and help conserve heat.
Detailed explanation-3: -The subcutis is the innermost layer of the skin, and consists of a network of fat and collagen cells.
