What layer of skin has adipose connective tissue and large blood vessels?
Working from the outermost layer, the epidermis has no blood supply. The Dermis contains 2 main layers (plexi) of blood vessels, which can be referred to as the superficial dermal plexus and deep dermal plexus. More detail: The dermis can be split up into two layers, the papillary dermis and reticular dermis. One vascular plexus is situated in each. The superficial vascular plexus lies in the papillary dermis and is made mostly of capillaries. Capillary loops extend upwards towards (but not into) the epidermis and supply it with nutrients etc. The deep vascular plexus lies within the reticular dermis and is made mostly of venules, which drain the blood away from the skin back towards the heart. Larger vessels like veins and arteries are found in the subdermis a.k.a. subcutaneous layer and deeper (e.g. muscle).
