Which dermal layer is 80 percent of the dermis and is responsible for the tension lines in the skin?
The reticular layer is 80 percent of the dermis and is responsible for the tension lines in the skin. These lines are called Langer's lines and are important in surgical procedures to minimize scarring.
Why is the hypodermis not considered a layer of the skin?
The skin's functions are for protection, water resistant barrier, Vitamin D synthesis, sensation, thermoregulation and social functions (i.e., facial expressions.) The hypodermis does NONE of these. It's function is as an energy reservoir and for thermal insulation. Therefore, it does not meet the criteria for skin proper.
What is the dermal layer responsible for fingerprints?

Which makes skin layer impervious to water?
Which layer of the epidermis is responsible for water resistance
What is basal layer?

Which layer of the dermis constitutes 80 percent of the dermis and is responsible for the tension lines in the skin?
The reticular layer.
Skin is an example of what?
Skin is an example of an organ in the human body that serves various functions such as protection, temperature regulation, sensation, and Vitamin D synthesis.
