The reason the hypodermis acts as a shock absorber is that ________. Select one: a. it is located just below the epidermis and protects the dermis from shock b. it has no delicate nerve endings and can therefore absorb more shock c. the major part of its makeup is adipose, which serves as an effective shock absorber d. the cells that make up the hypodermis secrete a protective mucus

Respuesta :

Answer:

c. the major part of its makeup is adipose, which serves as an effective shock absorber

Explanation:

The hypodermis, which is also referred to as the subcutaneous layer or the superficial fascia, consists majorly of adipose tissues which stores fats. The adipose tissues which makes up  the major part of the hypodermis serves as an insulator and also as an effective shock absorber, as well as protect the inner organs. The hypodermis is the storage site of most body fat, which are stored in the adipose tissues.
