The Dermis layer of skin constitutes what percentage of the mass of human skin?
The underlying layer of skin is called the dermis, a dense fibroelastic connective tissue that constitutes the primary mass of the skin. This portion of the skin contains most of the specialized excretory and secretory glands that produce sweat. Although the dermis constitutes between 90-95% of the mass of human skin, the epidermis accounts for the major proportion of the biochemical transformations that occur in the skin (although structures that extend into the dermis, such as the various sweat glands and hair follicles, are also metabolically important).Reference:Henry C. Lee and R.e. Gaenesslen, (2001) Advances in fingerprint Technology. 2nd ed. Pg. 65
