Introduction:

Skin works as the physical barrier and first line of defence. It is segregated into three sheets of cells namely the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis. The epidermis is basically the outermost section of the skin which works as the waterproof barrier, the dermis is the sheet of cells which is beneath the epidermis, and comprises of connective tissue, sweat glands, and hair follicles.

Explanation of Solution

The subcutaneous tissue is also known as hypodermis. It is mainly found in the layer of adipose cells, macrophages, and fibroblasts. It is derived from the mesoderm and it is unlike the dermis layer. It is basically the superficial fascia which is primarily is the lowermost sheet of the integumentary system in the vertebrates.

Conclusion

Therefore, it can be concluded that the term hypodermis can be correctly matched with the superficial fascia.
