Detailed explanation-1: -The thin top layer of the dermis (the inner layer of the skin). The papillary dermis has connective tissue and blood vessels that give nutrients to the epidermis (the outer layer of the skin) and that help control the temperature of the skin.

Detailed explanation-2: -Another feature of some parts of the papillary layer is dermal ridges. These ridges cause ridges in the overlying epidermis, called epidermal ridges. Those ridges and the sweaty marks they leave are what we call fingerprints.
