Hypodermis

Question: What are the functions of the hypodermis? After studying the skin in anatomy class, Toby grabbed the large "love handles" at his waist and said "I have too thick hypodermis, but that's OK because this layer performs valuable functions!" What are the functions of the hypodermis?

Answer: The hypodermis acts as an energy reserve. The fats contained in the adipocytes can be put back into circulation, via the venous route, during intense effort or when there is a lack of energy providing substances, and are then transformed into energy. When we speak of "burning up calories", we are burning up fats in particular. The hypodermis participates, passively at least, in thermoregulation since fat is a heat insulator.

Question: What is a tissue located in the hypodermis subcutaneous? layer? what is the tissue's name?

Answer: subcutaneous layer of our skin contains adipose tissues which composed of adipocytes (fat cells). These tissues are usually deposited in our skin as excess or unburned fats. They are naturally there for some functions-- cushion, protection and also for maintaining a warmer temperature of our body during cold seasons....

Question: What is the tissue located in the hypodermis? subcutaneous layer? is the answer adipose?

Answer: The hypodermis is sometimes called the subcutaneous tissue. Types of cells found in the hypodermis include fibroblasts, adipose cells, and macrophages. I'm assuming (but this might be too obvious) the answer would be subcutaneous tissue. Or adipose tissues. I hope this helps(: *EDIT. Yes, I just checked. They are the adipose tissues(:

Question: What is a tissue located in the hypodermis layer?

Answer: The hypodermis has adipose tissue in it. This helps cushion the underlying organs.

Question: What is the structure of the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis ( including tissue types involved) ?

Answer: The epidermis is the outer layer of the skin, composed of terminally differentiated stratified squamous epithelium, acting as the body's major barrier against an inhospitable environment. It is the thinnest on the eyelids at .05 mm and the thickest on the palms and soles at 1.5 mm. It is ectodermal in origin. The dermis is a layer of skin between the epidermis and subcutaneous tissues, and is composed of two layers, the papillary and reticular dermis. tructural components of the dermis are collagen, elastic fibers, and extrafibrillar matrix (previously called ground substance). The hypodermis, also called the hypoderm, subcutaneous tissue, or superficial fascia is the lowermost layer of the integumentary system in vertebrates. Types of cells that are found in the hypodermis are fibroblasts, adipose cells, and macrophages. It is derived from the mesoderm, but unlike the dermis, it is not derived from the dermatome region of the mesoderm. In arthropods, the hypodermis is an epidermal layer of cells that secretes the chitinous cuticle. The term also refers to a layer of cells lying immediately below the epidermis of plants. This cell is also used to supervise the outer skin from burns and other such articulates. The hypoderis is used mainly for fat storage. A layer of tissue that lies immediately below the dermis of vertebrate skin. It is often referred to as subcutaneous tissue though this is a less precise and anatomically inaccurate term. The hypodermis consists primarily of loose connective tissue and lobules of fat. It contains larger blood vessels and nerves than those found in the dermis.

Question: Does vasodilation always results in an increased temperature above the hypodermis?

Answer: if your talking about vasodilation in the skin then yes, when your cold the vessels in the skin contract which forces more blood into the visceral organs necessary for life. the more blood in an area the more heat will be circulated through there. When you are hot (viscerally) your vessels will dialate (vasodilate) and blood will be diverted away from the internal organs and flow to the limbs which will make you feel hot and want to cool down.

Question: Body fat in the hypodermis with 5 possible correct answers inside.? Body fat in the hypodermis a) varies with age and sex b) funcations as a padding and insulation c) accounts for the chubby appearance in babies d)is frequently used to estimate total body fat e) all of the above thanks in advance

Answer: e) all of the above.

Question: what is the function of the hypodermis in plant stems?

Answer: In some plants, the hypodermis is a layer of cells immediately below the epidermis of leaves and stems. It is often mechanically strengthened, for example, in pine leaves, forming an extra protective layer or a water storage tissue.

Question: Subcutaneous and hypodermis? do they mean the same thing ? the top layer of skin is epidermis followed by the dermis .. would it be hypodermis next? please and thank you

Answer: First The epidermis is the outer layer of skin. The thickness of the epidermis varies in different types of skin. It is the thinnest on the eyelids at .05 mm and the thickest on the palms and soles at 1.5 mm. The epidermis contains 5 layers. From bottom to top the layers are named: stratum basale stratum spinosum stratum granulosum stratum licidum stratum corneum Second The dermis also varies in thickness depending on the location of the skin. It is .3 mm on the eyelid and 3.0 mm on the back. The dermis is composed of three types of tissue that are present throughout - not in layers. The types of tissue are: collagen elastic tissue reticular fibers THird The subcutaneous tissue is a layer of fat and connective tissue that houses larger blood vessels and nerves. This layer is important is the regulation of temperature of the skin itself and the body. The size of this layer varies throughout the body and from person to person. Sometimes its called hypodermis.

Question: what are the functions of the hypodermis?

Answer: hypodermis is the outer cellular layer of invertebrates that secretes the cuticular exoskeleton. it is often referred to as subcutaneous tissue though this is a less precise and anatomically inaccurate term. the hypodermis consists primarily of loose connective tissue and lobules of fat. it contains larger blood vessels and nerves than those found in the dermis. in some animals, such as whales and hibernating mammals, the hypodermis forms an important insulating layer and/or food store. in some plants, the hypodermis is a layer of cells immediately below the epidermis of leaves. it is often mechanically strengthened forming an extra protective layer or a water storage tissue. :)

Question: which is highly vascularized? epidermis, dermis, or hypodermis?

Answer: the middle one

Question: what contains langerhans cells.... epidermis dermis or hypodermis?

Answer: epidermis

Question: what is the function of the hypodermis.?

Answer: The hypodermis, also known as the subcutaneous membrane, is a layer found under the dermis of the skin. It is composed of adipose tissue meaning fat. Its function therefore is to basically store fat and provide insulation.

Question: What are the four types of germination? i've only heard that there are two types of germination, hypodermis and epidermis. but now i am asked to state 4 different types of germination. some experts please help me. Thank you! ^_^

Answer: There are indeed four types of germination Epigeous The cotyledons are above the surface of the soil Hypogeous The cotyledons stay below the soil surface Monocot germination In monocot seeds,The coleorhiza is the first part to grow out of the seed, followed by the radicle. The coleoptile is then pushed up through the ground until it reaches the surface. There, it stops elongating and the first leaves emerge through an opening as it is. Precocious germination where the seed actually grows inside of the fruit I have seen this in apples and peppers

Question: what are the 3 distinct regions (layers) of the integumentary system? is it the epidermis, dermis, and the hypodermis? pls and thank you! :)

Answer: your right..

Question: how do i make a cake that has to do with the 5 layers of the epidermis? I need to make a cake that has the whole epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, along with free nerve endings sebaceous gland arrector pili muscle sweat gland hair root nerve adipose tissue sensory receptor artery vein hair shaft malenocytes capillaries hair follice emidermis (5 parts) dermis hypodermis

Answer: Make a 5 layer cake by using the 1 cake tin for each layer and make it stick by using diiffrent types of icings to separate each layer. You could used Twizzlers for veins, and diffrent kinds of candy and and gummy worms. Hope it helps!

Answer: Dermis. subcutaneous layer = hypodermis (below the dermis).

Question: Easy 10 points, ANSWER THESE BIOLOGY QUESTIONS? 1)What type of tissue is found in the hypodermis? What is the purpose of the hypodermis? 2)How is the dermis different than the epidermis?

Answer: Hi, Here, this probably has everything you need: *The hypodermis, also called the hypoderm, subcutaneous tissue, or superficial fascia is the lowermost layer of the integumentary system in vertebrates. Types of cells that are found in the hypodermis are fibroblasts, adipose cells, and macrophages. It is derived from the mesoderm, but unlike the dermis, it is not derived from the dermatome region of the mesoderm. In arthropods, the hypodermis is an epidermal layer of cells that secretes the chitinous cuticle. The term also refers to a layer of cells lying immediately below the epidermis of plants. This cell is also used to supervise the outer skin from burns and other such articulates. The hypodermis is used mainly for fat storage. For # 2, I think the dermis is inside and the epidermis is outside, since "epi" means out. **The dermis is the layer of skin beneath the epidermis that consists of connective tissue and cushions the body from stress and strain. **Epidermis, "epi" coming from the Greek meaning "over" or "upon", is the outermost layer of the skin. It forms the waterproof, protective wrap over the body's surface and is made up of stratified squamous epithelium with an underlying basal lamina. **Mammalian skin is composed of three primary layers: the epidermis, which provides waterproofing and serves as a barrier to infection; the dermis, which serves as a location for the appendages of skin; and the hypodermis (subcutaneous adipose layer).
