Below the top layer of the skin, the epidermis, is the dermis.At the top of the dermis lies the papillary layer which connects with the deepest layer of the epidermis, the stratum germinativum. The papillary layer supplies blood and nutrients to the germinativum with lots of dermal papillae which form waves all along this layer. These waves form the ridges and valleys to form fingerprints which show on the epidermis.
