using figure 5.1, match the following:

responsible for shock absorption and located in the hypodermis.

Explanation:

Identify the target structure

Using the Integumentary System Anatomy knowledge point:
The question asks to identify the lettered structure in Figure 5.1 that is "Responsible for shock absorption and located in the hypodermis."

Analyze the labeled structures

• A points to the arrector pili muscle.
• B points to the adipose tissue (fat cells) in the hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
• C points to a sweat gland (sudoriferous gland).
• D brackets the dermis layer.
• E brackets the epidermis layer.

Match function to structure

The hypodermis (subcutaneous layer) contains abundant adipose tissue, which serves as a shock absorber and insulator. This corresponds to label B.

Answer:

Responsible for shock absorption and located in the hypodermis. <blank>B</blank>
