What is subcutaneous tissue?

  1. Fibrous tissue above the epidermis

  2. Fatty tissue found below the dermis

  3. Elastin-producing cells

  4. Muscle tissue under the skin

The correct answer is: Fatty tissue found below the dermis

Subcutaneous tissue is a layer of fat found directly beneath the dermis (the outermost layer of skin). It helps to insulate and cushion the body, as well as providing a store of energy. Option A is incorrect because fibrous tissue is not typically found directly above the epidermis. Option C is incorrect because while subcutaneous tissues do contain elastin, they are not solely made up of elastin-producing cells. Option D is incorrect because subcutaneous tissue does not contain muscle tissue, but rather adipose tissue (fat cells) and connective tissue.
