Detailed explanation-1: -The epidermis and the dermis are the top two layers of skin in your body. The epidermis is the top layer, and the dermis is the middle layer. The dermis exists between the epidermis and the hypodermis. While the epidermis is the thinnest layer of skin, the dermis is the thickest layer of skin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dermal papillae increase the contact area between dermis and epidermis; they are more pronounced in thick skin. The reticular layer of the dermis lies beneath the papillary layer and consists of larger, more coarsely textured collagen fibers.
Detailed explanation-3: -Subcutaneous Layer This acts as an insulating material that preserves body temperature as well as storing fat for energy reserves and protection of the inner organs through shock absorption. Additional skin integuments like blood vessels, nerves, lymphatics and hair follicles also cross through this layer.
