Where are the blood vessels located that carry nutrients to the epidermis and transport wastes away from the epidermis?

The blood vessels that supply nutrients to the epidermis and remove waste products are primarily located in the dermis, which is the layer of skin situated beneath the epidermis. These vessels are part of a network of capillaries that extend close to the boundary of the epidermis, allowing for the exchange of nutrients and waste. The epidermis itself is avascular, meaning it does not contain blood vessels, relying on diffusion from the dermal capillaries for its metabolic needs.
