What are the functions of the hypodermis?

In: Plants and Flowers, Human Anatomy, Genetics [Edit categories]

Answer:

The hypodermis (subcutaneous layer, or superficial fascia) lies between the dermis and underlying tissues and organs. It consists of mostly adipose tissue and is the storage site of most body fat. It serves to fasten the skin to the underlying surface, provides thermal insulation, and absorbs shocks from impacts to the skin.
