What special qualities does the connective tissue of the dermis have?
The dermis is the second layer of the skin. The dermis is made up of dense irregular (fibrous) connective tissue. Dermis consists of both elastin and collagen, it gets more heavily compsed of collagen as it goes deeper however.Dense irregular connective tissueyes Areolar
