The layer C, also known as the subcutaneous layer, is where hypodermic needles would be placed for injections of drugs. It is composed of loose connective tissue and adipose tissue. Layers A and B are the epidermis and dermis, respectively, which make up the majority of the skin and do not typically involve drug injections. Layer N represents nerves and K represents hair follicles.
