"The dermis
The hypodermis is the deepest layer of the skin. It is also known as subcutaneous adipose tissue or panniculus adipose.
The lobules are anatomical structures made up of cell clusters, called adipocytes, rich in triglycerides. A small amount of fundamental substance is interposed between one adipocyte and the other.
The hypodermis, which is richly vascularized and innervated, fulfills particularly important functions:
- it is the main energy store of the organism.
- It participates in thermoregulation, hindering the dispersion of heat from the body and generating it through the oxidation of triglycerides.
- Provides mechanical protection against trauma.
- Model the body figure.
- It affects the body's metabolism by releasing hormone-like substances.
