The dermis is composed of what?
The dermis is the layer of tissue under the epidermis. The dermis is also called the subcutaneous tissue.The dermis is one of the three layers of the skin. "Skin" is the only other answer, and it is considered the largest organ of the human body.The three basic layers (from outer/top to inner) are:epidermis (top layer)dermishypodermisThe function of the dermis is to give nutrition to the bottom layers of the epidermis (that is why the dermis is FULL of capillaries). It also insulates your skin (function of adipose (fat cells) in the dermis)It is a layer of skin between the epidermis and subcutaneous tissue. It is made of two layers called the papillary and reticular dermis. the second layer
What layer of skin has abundant elastic and collagenic fibers?
The fibroblast is the most common cell that creates collagen.
Which layer of skin contains most of the accessory structures?
epidermis
Why would one use a collagen filler?
Collagen fillers are used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles in the skin. Collagen is naturally occurring in human skin and makes up a large part of it's structure. As you age collagen weakens and becomes less elastic forming wrinkles, a collagen filler replenishes the collagen in your skin.
What is the function of collagen in the body?
The primary function of collagen is just to strength the skin. As we get older, the collagen production decreases, resulting in wrinkles and the skin is more vulnerable to getting imperfections such as scrapes, cuts.

What skin region is the site of elastic and collagen fibers?
Reticular layer
What layer of the skin contains melanin?
what layer of the epidermis contains skin color
Which layer of skin is composed mainly of connective tissue with collagen and elastic fibers?
The reticular layer of the dermis
Which layer of the skin produces collagen protein fibers to help give the skin its elasticity and pliability?
Epidermis
What is the results of doing a collagen facial?
Collagen is found in the lower layer of one's skin. Collagen is responsible for maintaining the skin's structure and does this through a natural protein found in skin, tissues and bones. One would get a collagen facial in order to slow the aging process by replenishing natural proteins with ingredients found in a collagen facial.
Where is the location where collagen and melanin for the skin are manufactured?
Collagen is formed in the dermis of the skin and remains there. Melanin is formed in the stratum basale layer of the epidermis by the melanocytes and the melanin is taken up by the epithelial cells of the skin.
What chemicals made of chains of amino acids contains skin collagen?
protien
What layer of skin contains the appendages of the skin?
Epiderms
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.
What layer of the skin is living?
The dermis is the layer of skin that contains only living cells. The epidermis contains both living and dead cells.
What are some chemical properties of the Dermis?
Collagen fibers makes up 75% of the dermis, which is the inner layer of skin that protects the body from physical stress, it also contains elastic fibers, and ground substances.
