The subcutaneous tissue is the loose, connective tissue directly beneath the dermis. It is composed of adipose tissue or fat that is made up of lipocytes. These cells contain stored fat as an energy reserve. It also provides a layer of insulation to conserve internal body heat as well as a cushion to protect the bones and internal organs.
