Where is the dermis in relation to the epidermis?
The epidermis is the part of the skin that faces the outside or enviroment. The dermis is the layer just under the epidermis that contains hair follicles,nerves,blood and lymph vessels - the layer you get the sense of touch from. It is made of connective tissue. The function of the dermis is to be the major support structure for the epidermis. It contains the strength in its fibers and is considered to be the true skin. It also supplies the epidermis with blood and nutrients.
What connects the dermis to the epidermis?
Elastic fibers
Why is the dermis elastic and spongy?
The dermis, the layer just below the epidermis, is made up of collagen, elastin fibers, and blood vessels. Together they make your skin spongy and plump.
What does The epidermis contain that allows it to provide a protective physical barrier?
The dermis contains fat cell, blood supply, and nerves. It also contains hair follicles, oild glands, and sweat glands. Fibroblasts in the dermis make collagen.The dermis is composed of connective tissue and contains blood vessels, nerve endings, hair follicles, lymph vessels sebaceous glands(oil glands), and sudoriferous glands(sweat glands).collagen fibers, arector pili, sebaceous glands, sudoriferous glands, sensory receptors pacinian corpuscle, meissener's corpuscle, hair root, stratified epithelium The dermis contains, among other things, hair follicles, sebaceous glands (oil), sweat glands, free nerve endings (pain), pressure/touch receptors and a microvascular supply.
What cell types are found in the dermis?
Fibroblasts are found in the dermis. They make the fibers that the dermis contains. There are many cells found in the blood vessels and nerve endings but they are not really considered to be dermal.
Is the dermis rich in blood vessels and nerve fibers?
Yes, the dermis is rich in blood vessels (when you itch or scratch your skin and it turns red) and the dermis is rich in nerve fibers because of when you touch your skin you can feel it. TRUE
Does the dermis contain both elastic and collagen fibers?
yes the dermis contains both elastic and collagen fibers
What does the dermis contain to communicate with other organs?
The skin is the organ that contains the dermis.
What tissue contains loose arrangement of the elastic and collagen fibers?
Reticular layerpapillary layer and reticular layerhave collagenic fibers, however most of abundant area would be the epidermis (as a whole)Unfortunately for them, but fortunately I'm here for you, the answer is Dermis. The dermis is composed of connective tissue containing mainly of collagen fibers and also elastic and reticular fibers. Also, contains connective tissue cells, blood vessels, sweat and sebaceous glands, hair follicles, nail root, nerve endings, and muscular tissues. WE WANT CORRECT ANSWERS ...(ANSWERS.COM) :)
What is the inner layer of skin which contains blood vessels sweat glands hair follicles and nerve cells?
The skin is the largest organ of the body, with a surface area of 18 square feet. Its two main layers are the epidermis (outer layer) and dermis (inner layer). And what you ask is DERMIS (thicker inner layer) .The dermis varies in thickness depending on the location of the skin. It is .3 mm on the eyelid and 3.0 mm on the back. The dermis is composed of three types of tissue that are present throughout - not in layers. The types of tissue are:collagenelastic tissuereticular fibersLayers of the DermisThe two layers of the dermis are the papillary and reticular layers.The upper, papillary layer, contains a thin arrangement of collagen fibers.The lower, reticular layer, is thicker and made of thick collagen fibers that are arranged parallel to the surface of the skin.
2 tissues found in the dermis?
The dermis contains dense irregular connective tissue with elastic fibers and collagen type I. It also contains very few fibroblast cells.
What layer of the skin contains all or mostly dead cells?
The epidermis is made up of dead skin cells. The cells are constantly falling off of the body, but are replaced by new cells that were earlier created in the dermis.
