GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Keeping your skin moist: Your dermis contains sebaceous glands, which secrete an oily lubricant (sebum) that helps keep your skin and hair hydrated and shiny. Producing hair: Your dermis contains hair follicles, which produce hair all over your skin, except the palms of your hands and the soles of your feet.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sebaceous glands are small, sack-shaped glands which release an oily substance onto the hair follicle that coats and protects the hair shaft from becoming brittle. These glands are located in the dermis. The epidermis is innervated with sensory nerves.

Detailed explanation-3: -The dermis is divided into two layers: the papillary dermis and the reticular dermis. The papillary dermis is the superficial layer, lying deep to the epidermis. The papillary dermis is composed of loose connective tissue that is highly vascular.
