Dermal Papillae.
Dermal papillae are located at the boundary between the epidermis and the dermis in the skin. They are small, finger-like projections that help anchor the epidermis to the dermis and play a role in blood flow and sensation.
It's called a "finger" or a "jetty."
Epidermal Ridges: the ridges of the epidermis found in the palms and soles, where the sweat pores open; form in fetus as epidermis conforms to the dermal papillae aka fingerprints Dermal Papillae: finger like projections in the papillary region of the dermis where the epidermis conforms for fingerprints
The upper layer of the dermis that forms dermal papillae is known as the papillary dermis. This layer is composed of loose connective tissue and contains small, finger-like projections called dermal papillae, which interdigitate with the epidermis. These structures enhance the surface area for exchange of nutrients and waste, and they contain capillaries, nerve endings, and sensory receptors, contributing to the skin's tactile functions.
finger like projection called villi
they're called dermal papillae
is 1/5th of the thickness of dermis. Areolar Connective tissue which has elastic, collagen and reticular fibers. It is the region beneath dermal papillae ( finger-like projections in the uppermost part of the dermis just beneath the basement membrane of epidermis)
They are called villi.Also there are micro villi on villi.
the finger...the epidermis on the finger
As you said, it burns off both the epidermis and dermis of your skin, which is a lot worse than just burning your finger on a hot pan, a third degree burn is very painful and serious, and you could be permanently scarred for life.
The actual three layers that make up the skin is the Epidermis,Dermis,Subcutaneous. *epidermis is the (outer most) *dermis is the (middle layer) *subcutaneous is the (innermost)
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.
