Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Your hypodermis is the bottom layer of skin in your body.
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: -Adipose tissue present in the hypodermis consists of fat-storing cells called adipocytes. This stored fat can serve as an energy reserve, insulate the body to prevent heat loss, and act as a cushion to protect underlying structures from trauma.
