The dermis contains, among other things, hair follicles, sebaceous glands (oil), sweat glands (cooling), free nerve endings (pain), pressure/touch receptors and a microvascular supply.
dermis
Hairs are structures are formed by portions of the epidermis that extend into the dermis and are adjacent to dermal papillae.
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.
The dermis contains nerves, blood vessels, sweat glands, hairs, and oil glands.
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.
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)

The Papillary Layer which is a part of the Dermis
The accessory structures of the skin, such as hair follicles, sweat glands, and sebaceous glands, are primarily found in the dermis layer. The dermis lies beneath the epidermis and provides support and nourishment to the skin, housing these structures within its connective tissue. The dermis also contains blood vessels, nerves, and other components that contribute to the skin's functionality.
reticular layer of the dermis
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.
