What else can I help you with?
Skin is attached to underlying structures?
dermis
These structures are formed by portions of the epidermis that extend into the dermis and are adjacent to dermal papillae?
Hairs are structures are formed by portions of the epidermis that extend into the dermis and are adjacent to dermal papillae.
What are similarities in the structures found in the epidermis with the structures found in the dermis?
There is no structural similarity between the epidermis and the dermis. They are both a part of the integumentary system but are vastly different in structure and makeup.
What structures doe the dermis contain?
The dermis contains nerves, blood vessels, sweat glands, hairs, and oil glands.
What structures are in the dermis that are not in the epidermis?
The dermis contains many nerves and blood vessels, while the epidermis does not. The dermis is so close to the epidermis that even shallow cuts may hurt.
What are the components of the dermis and their functions?
The components of skin. Epidermis is the top layer. (Epi=above, -dermis=skin). The dermis is the true skin and middle layer. The hypodermis is below the dermis. (hypo=below)
What are strands of hair grow within the dermis in structures called?
Pores
What are skin markings that occur where the dermis is secured to deeper structures?
flexure lines
What term describes the tissue layer directly below epidermis?
The Papillary Layer which is a part of the Dermis
What layer of the integument functions in the storage of lipid reserves?
reticular layer of the dermis
What dermal structures are responsible for fingerprints?
The dermal tissue structures responsible for fingerprints are dermal papillae. They are tiny extensions of the dermis into the epidermis.
What is dermis as a whole?
The dermis as a whole is called the vascular region of the skin. The skin is actually the largest organ in the human body and functions as a barrier against disease.
