The skin is attached to underlying muscles and bones primarily by a layer of connective tissue known as the subcutaneous tissue or hypodermis. This layer contains collagen and elastin fibers, which provide support and flexibility, as well as adipose tissue that serves as insulation and energy storage. Additionally, fascia, a connective tissue that surrounds muscles, further helps anchor the skin to the underlying structures.
