List three functions of fatty tissue?

Energy storage: Fatty tissue stores excess calories in the form of triglycerides, which can be used for energy when needed. Insulation: Fatty tissue acts as a thermal insulator to help regulate body temperature. Protection: Fatty tissue provides cushioning and protection for organs and tissues within the body.


What are the potential health risks associated with having almost entirely fatty breast tissue?

Having predominantly fatty breast tissue can increase the risk of developing breast cancer, as fatty tissue can contain higher levels of estrogen which can promote tumor growth. Additionally, fatty breast tissue can make it more difficult to detect abnormalities on a mammogram, potentially leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment. It is important for individuals with fatty breast tissue to maintain regular screenings and consult with a healthcare provider for personalized risk assessment and management.

Describe the features of each of the five layers of the skin?

The outermost layer that you see is the stratum corneum or epidermis. Below the epidermis is the dermis, the thickest of the 3 layers. The dermis is responsible for the skin's structural integrity, elasticity and resilience. The deepest layer is the hypodermis or subcutaneous consisting of fatty tissue, sweat glands and muscles.

How many major regions are in the skin?

There are two major parts to what we call the skin. The epidermis and the dermis.The dermis is a blood rich layer that contains a number of cells including the ones that produce pigment, keratinized epithelium (hair follicles), glandular epithelium (sweat, sebaceous glands), dense irregular connective tissue (collagen), smooth muscle tissue (arrector pili muscles), nervous tissue (Meissner's & Pacinian Corpuscles), and blood vessels.The epidermis is a layer whose cells become more and more filled with keratin and begin to die as they reach the surface.There is layer underneath called the hypodermis which contains fatty tissue but it is not part of the skin.


What tissue insulates the body?

adipose connective tissue


Hypodermis is usually has an abundance of in this tissue?

yes, its basically the fatty part of the hypodermis, and then the dermis, which is made up of connective tisse, and then the epidermis which is made up of epithelial cells, stratified squamous keratinized epithelium to be specific.
