What is the underlying, second layer of the skin also known as?

Dermis
Epidermis
Hypodermis
Subcutaneous layer

The correct answer is: Dermis

The underlying, second layer of the skin is known as the dermis. This is because it is the thickest layer of the skin and contains connective tissue, blood vessels, nerves, and glands. It provides support and nourishment for the outer layer of skin, known as the epidermis (option B). The hypodermis (option C) is the third and bottommost layer of the skin and is made up of adipose tissue and helps insulate the body. The subcutaneous layer (option D) is another name for the hypodermis and refers to the layer of fat below the skin.
