What term describes the tissue layer directly below epidermis?
The Papillary Layer which is a part of the Dermis
What are the two layer of the dermis?
The papillary and reticular dermis are the two layers of Dermis.
What is the dermis composed mainly of what tissue?
The dermis is one of two layers that make up the skin (the other being the epidermis, which lies on top). The dermis is composed of two layers: the papillary layer and the reticular layer. The papillary layer is composed of areolar tissue and the reticular layer is composed of dense irregular connective tissue.
Which stratum does mitosis take place?
stratum germinativum first layer of the epidermis above the papillary layer of the dermis also known as the basal layer
What is the difference of Reticular layer and the papillary layer of the dermis?
Both layers comprise the dermis; the papillary layer is the upper layer and the reticular layer is the lower. The papillary layer is loose areolar connective tissue and the reticular layer is a dense irregular connective tissue.
What is the dermal layer responsible for fingerprints?
The dermal layer responsible for fingerprints is the papillary layer.stratum germinativum
Does the skin include the papillary layer?
The papillary layer of the skin is one of two layers of the dermis.
What term describes the tissue layer directly below epidermis?
The Papillary Layer which is a part of the Dermis
Does the papillary layer consist of areolar connective tissue?
Yes, the papillary layer of the skin consists of areolar connective tissue.
Compare the composition of the papillary and reticular regions of the dermis?
retcular layer is comparly thicker than papillary layer. It composed of irregular dense connective tissu(mainly Type I collagen) and therefore has more fibers and fewer cells than papillary layer.
What is function of the papillary layer?
The Papillary is the upper layer of the dermis that has ridges and valleys causing finger prints. It has receptors which communicate with the central nervous system, these include touch, pressure, hot, cold and pain receptors.
What is the top of the papillary layer where it joins the epidermis?
Skin
What layer of dermis is below the epidermis?

What layer of the skin is composed of dead squamous cells filled with keratin?
papillary layer
What layer of skin is just beneath the stratum germinativum?
papillary
What layer of the skin is atop the dermis?
The epidermis is the layer of skin tissue on top of, or superficial to, the dermis.
What part of the dermis gives rise to friction ridges?
Papillary Layer
