Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Subcutis. The subcutis is the innermost layer of the skin, and consists of a network of fat and collagen cells. The subcutis is also known as the hypodermis or subcutaneous layer, and functions as both an insulator, conserving the body’s heat, and as a shock-absorber, protecting the inner organs.
Detailed explanation-2: -The epidermis is thicker than you might expect and has five sublayers. Your epidermis is constantly shedding dead skin cells from the top layer and replacing them with new healthy cells that grow in lower layers. It is also home to your pores, which allow oil and sweat to escape.
Detailed explanation-3: -So, the correct answer is ‘Chemoreceptors’.
