What system includes the epidermis dermis and cutaneous sense organs?
The integumentary system includes the dermis, epidermis, and cutaneous sense organs.
What body system includes the epidermis dermis and cutaneous sense organs?
The integumentary system includes the dermis, epidermis, and cutaneous sense organs.
Where is the dermis in relation to the epidermis?
The epidermis is the part of the skin that faces the outside or enviroment. The dermis is the layer just under the epidermis that contains hair follicles,nerves,blood and lymph vessels - the layer you get the sense of touch from. It is made of connective tissue. The function of the dermis is to be the major support structure for the epidermis. It contains the strength in its fibers and is considered to be the true skin. It also supplies the epidermis with blood and nutrients.
What organ system includes the epidermis dermis oil and sweat glands?
The integumentary system (skin) contains the epidermis, dermis, oil glands, and sweat glands.
Vascular region layer of the skin?
Vascular in this sense refers to blood supply. Your epidermis is avascular, which means it has no blood supply of it's own. Because arteries and veins run throughout your dermis, the dermis as a whole is considered a vascular region.
What is the function of the dermis and what layers are contained within the dermis?
Dermis From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, searchThis article is about the layer of skin. For the website, see DermIS (Dermatology Information System).DermisLatindermis; coriumCodeTH H3.12.00.1.03001 A graphic representation of the interface between skin epithelium and the underlying connective tissue. Zone B, indicating the region of overlapping projections of epithelium and connective tissue, is the papillary dermis. Zone C, indicating the region of dermis that lies immediately subjacent to the interdigitations of epithelium, is the reticular dermis.The dermis is a layer of skin between the epidermis (with which it makes up the cutis) and subcutaneous tissues, that consists of connective tissue and cushions the body from stress and strain. It is divided into two layers, the superficial area adjacent to the epidermis called the papillary region and a deep thicker area known as the reticular dermis.[1] The dermis is tightly connected to the epidermis through a basement membrane. Structural components of the dermis are collagen, elastic fibers, and extrafibrillar matrix (previously called ground substance).[2] It also contains Mechanoreceptors that provide the sense of touch and heat, hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, apocrine glands, lymphatic vessels and blood vessels. Those blood vessels provide nourishment and waste removal for both dermal and epidermal cells.Components of the DermisThe dermis is composed of three major types of cells[3]: Fibroblasts, Macrophages, and Adipocytes. Apart from these cells, the dermis is also composed of matrix components such as collagen (which provides strength), elastin (which provides elasticity), the epidermis, and glycosaminoglycans.[3]LayersStratum papillareThe papillary region is composed of loose areolar connective tissue. This is named for its fingerlike projections called papillae, that extend toward the epidermis and contain either terminal networks of blood capillaries or tactile Meissner's corpuscles.[4] Stratum reticulareThe reticular region lies under the papillary region and is usually much thicker. It is composed of dense irregular connective tissue, and receives its name from the dense concentration of collagenous, elastic, and reticular fibers that weave throughout it. These protein fibers give the dermis its properties of strength, extensibility, and elasticity. Also located within the reticular region are the roots of the hair, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, receptors, nails, and blood vessels.

What is the sense of touch originates in the bottom layer of your skin?
the dermis
What is the cell in the elbow?
You are not making any sense with your question. The skin which has cells is called "epidermis". Your whole body has epidermis and it is made of cells.
Are pain receptors free nerve endings?
Free nerve endings functions as cutaneous receptors ( is a sensory receptor present on dermis or epidermis ). Present in vertebrates for sense of pain. they are frequently found on skin. *Muscle spindles
How many flavors can be detected by the sense of taste?
37
What property is detected by the sense of smell?
smell/nose
What is epirdermis?
The epidermis is the outer layer of the skin that acts as armor for the human body. It can keep out dust, water, germs, and the suns ultra-violet rays. It also gives you the sense of touch including pain pressure and temperature. It is composed of 4-5 layers.
