Translations:Subcutis/2/en

The subcutis is a fat store and insulator. It contains - especially in the hand and the sole of the foot - the Vater-Pacini lamellar bodies, which serve the sensation of vibrations. In the peripheral part of the subcutis, the vessel-gland layer, the stratum glandulovasculare, lie the end pieces of the sweat glands and the larger skin vessels. They provide the mesh of arteries of the corium with blood.
