Verified step by step guidance

Step 1: Begin by understanding the subcutaneous layer, which is the layer of tissue located beneath the dermis of the skin. It primarily serves as a cushion and insulator for the body.

Step 2: Recall the types of connective tissues commonly found in the subcutaneous layer. These include areolar tissue, which provides support and elasticity, and adipose tissue, which stores fat and provides insulation.

Step 3: Review the characteristics of the other tissue types listed in the options: cartilage (provides structural support but is not found in the subcutaneous layer), dense regular connective tissue (found in tendons and ligaments, not the subcutaneous layer), and nervous tissue (responsible for transmitting signals, not a connective tissue in the subcutaneous layer).

Step 4: Understand that adipose tissue is the correct answer because it is a type of connective tissue that stores fat and is commonly found alongside areolar tissue in the subcutaneous layer.

Step 5: Conclude that the subcutaneous layer contains areolar and adipose tissues, which work together to provide cushioning, insulation, and support for the skin and underlying structures.
