unterhautfettgewebe
Unterhautfettgewebe, also known as subcutaneous fat, is the deepest layer of skin in mammals. It is primarily composed of adipocytes, which are specialized cells that store fat. This tissue plays a crucial role in insulation, helping to maintain body temperature by preventing heat loss. It also serves as an energy reserve, storing calories that can be mobilized when needed.
Beyond its thermoregulatory and energetic functions, unterhautfettgewebe acts as a cushion, protecting underlying organs and tissues
