A16.0.03.001 Tela subcutanea None of the layers of subcutaneous tissue is present throughout the body. The fatty layer is most widely present. At some sites a layer of skin muscles may be found in it. Where it is thick, it has a membranous layer on its deep surface and may be lamellated by one or more fibrous layers within it. It is absent from the eyelids, the clitoris/penis and much of the pinna and is represented only by its muscular layer in the scrotum.
