Question

multiple-choice question
what is another name for the subcutaneous/adipose layer of the skin?
stratus
dermis
hypodermis
epidermis

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the layers of the skin: The subcutaneous (adipose) layer is also known as the hypodermis. Stratus is not a skin layer term. Dermis is the middle skin layer, and Epidermis is the outermost. So the correct option is Hypodermis.

Answer:

C. Hypodermis (assuming the options are labeled A: Stratus, B: Dermis, C: Hypodermis, D: Epidermis; if labels differ, adjust to match the correct option text with its identifier)
