What kind of tissue is located immediately below the dermis?

  1. Adipose tissue

  2. Cartilage

  3. Muscular tissue

  4. Subcutaneous tissue

The correct answer is: Subcutaneous tissue

The subcutaneous tissue is located immediately below the dermis and is also known as the hypodermis. It is a layer of fat and connective tissue that helps to keep the skin attached to the body. Adipose tissue, muscular tissue, and cartilage are all located deeper in the body and are not directly below the dermis. Adipose tissue is found throughout the body (including the subcutaneous layer), muscular tissue is found in muscles throughout the body, and cartilage is mainly found in the joints and spine. Therefore, they are not located immediately below the dermis.
