What does the hypodermis provide for the body?

  1. Structural support for organs

  2. Connection between skin and muscles

  3. Smooth contoured appearance

  4. Protection against pathogens

The correct answer is: Smooth contoured appearance

The hypodermis, also known as the subcutaneous layer, serves as an insulator for the body. It primarily consists of fat cells which provide a layer of cushion and also help to maintain body temperature. Therefore, the hypodermis does not provide structural support for organs (A), connect skin and muscles (B), or protect against pathogens (D). While it may contribute to a smooth contoured appearance, this is not the primary function of the hypodermis.
