Introduction:

The human skin is made up of three layers: the epidermis, the dermis, and the subcutaneous tissue, respectively from outermost to innermost layer.

Explanation of Solution

The subcutaneous layer is made up of connective tissue and fat and it contains macrophages, fibroblasts, and adipose cells. This layer is mainly used for the storage of fat. This lowermost layer of the vertebrate’s skin is also known as the superficial fascia or hypodermis. It is derived from the mesoderm. It stabilizes the position of skin against the underlying tissues and organs, provides the insulation and padding, and allows the skin for independent movement.

Conclusion

Therefore, it can be concluded that the term subcutaneous layer can be correctly matched with option (e) superficial fascia.
