Where is the subcutaneous layer located in relation to the dermis?

  1. Above

  2. Below

  3. Within

  4. Beside

The correct answer is: Below

The subcutaneous layer is located below the dermis. This is because the subcutaneous layer, also known as the hypodermis, is the deepest layer of the skin and is composed of fat and connective tissue. The dermis, on the other hand, is the middle layer of the skin and is responsible for providing structure and elasticity. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that the subcutaneous layer is "above" or "beside" the dermis, or even "within" it.
