Hypodermis
The hypo-dermis layer is an important component of the skin. The skin is also known as the "integument", or "integumentary system".
The hypo-dermis layer of the skin is the layer beneath
the dermis.
This
is also known as the sub-cutaneous or subcutaneous layer.
To view the location of the hypo-dermis layer relative to the other key components of the skin see the diagram of the structure of the skin. This may be of particular interest to students of courses in massage, reflexology, beauty therapies, and other health science or clinical courses.
