The dermis contains, among other things, hair follicles, sebaceous glands (oil), sweat glands (cooling), free nerve endings (pain), pressure/touch receptors and a microvascular supply.
dense irregular connective tissue
squamous cell lining.
dermis
Hairs are structures are formed by portions of the epidermis that extend into the dermis and are adjacent to dermal papillae.
There is no structural similarity between the epidermis and the dermis. They are both a part of the integumentary system but are vastly different in structure and makeup.
The dermis contains nerves, blood vessels, sweat glands, hairs, and oil glands.
The dermis contains many nerves and blood vessels, while the epidermis does not. The dermis is so close to the epidermis that even shallow cuts may hurt.
Pores
The components of skin. Epidermis is the top layer. (Epi=above, -dermis=skin). The dermis is the true skin and middle layer. The hypodermis is below the dermis. (hypo=below)
flexure lines
The dermal tissue structures responsible for fingerprints are dermal papillae. They are tiny extensions of the dermis into the epidermis.
Flexure lines
reticular layer of the dermis
The hypodermis lies under the dermis and is made of fats cells which act as an insulation.
