The innermost layer of the skin is the hypodermis, also known as subcutaneous tissue. It primarily consists of loose connective tissue and fat cells (adipocytes), which help insulate the body and absorb shock. This layer anchors the skin to underlying structures such as muscles and bones, while also allowing for flexibility and movement. Additionally, it contains larger blood vessels and nerves that supply the skin.
