Subcutaneous tissue is also known as?

  1. Outer layer

  2. Basal layer

  3. Adipose tissue

  4. Squamous tissue

The correct answer is: Adipose tissue

Subcutaneous tissue, also known as adipose tissue, is located under the skin but above the muscle layer. It acts as a cushion and insulation for our bodies. The outer layer and basal layer are actually part of the skin itself and do not refer to the layer of tissue underneath. Squamous tissue is a type of epithelial tissue and is not found in the subcutaneous layer. Therefore, option C, adipose tissue, is the correct term for subcutaneous tissue.
