  2. Dermis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermis

    The reticular dermis is the lower layer of the dermis, found under the papillary dermis, composed of dense irregular connective tissue featuring densely-packed collagen fibers. It is the primary location of dermal elastic fibers. [2] The reticular region is usually much thicker than the overlying papillary dermis.

  3. Human skin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_skin

    The dermis is the layer of skin beneath the epidermis that consists of connective tissue and cushions the body from stress and strain. The dermis is tightly connected to the epidermis by a basement membrane. It also harbours many nerve endings that provide the sense of touch and heat.

  4. Integumentary system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integumentary_system

    The dermis has two layers: the papillary dermis and the reticular layer. The papillary layer is the superficial layer that forms finger-like projections into the epidermis (dermal papillae), [5] and consists of highly vascularized, loose connective tissue. The reticular layer is the deep layer of the dermis and consists of the dense irregular ...

  5. List of skin conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_skin_conditions

    The dermis is the layer of skin between the epidermis and subcutaneous tissue, and comprises two sections, the papillary dermis and the reticular dermis. [10] The superficial papillary dermis interdigitates with the overlying rete ridges of the epidermis, between which the two layers interact through the basement membrane zone. [10]

  6. Skin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin

    The dermis is the layer of skin beneath the epidermis that consists of connective tissue and cushions the body from stress and strain. The dermis provides tensile strength and elasticity to the skin through an extracellular matrix composed of collagen fibrils , microfibrils , and elastic fibers , embedded in hyaluronan and proteoglycans .

    The common condition is defined as when the sweat glands and ducts get blocked, leading to the sweat to flow back into the outer (epidermis) and middle (dermis) layers of skin.

  8. Skin condition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_condition

    The dermis is the layer of skin between the epidermis and subcutaneous tissue, and comprises two sections, the papillary dermis and the reticular dermis. [24] The superficial papillary dermis interdigitates with the overlying rete ridges of the epidermis, between which the two layers interact through the basement membrane zone. [24]

  9. Dermal fibroblast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dermal_fibroblast

    Dermal fibroblasts are cells within the dermis layer of skin which are responsible for generating connective tissue and allowing the skin to recover from injury. [1] Using organelles (particularly the rough endoplasmic reticulum), dermal fibroblasts generate and maintain the connective tissue which unites separate cell layers. [2]
