GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Blood vessels that supply nutrients for all skin layers are found in the dermis (6). The dermis, which is less cell dense than the epidermis, is primarily comprised of a matrix of extracellular proteins. A majority of cells found in the dermis are fibroblasts that synthesize structural proteins like collagen.

Detailed explanation-2: -4 Dermal appendages. Most skin appendages are located in the dermis. These include hair follicles, sweat (eccrine), apocrine and sebaceous glands. Sebaceous glands are distributed over the entire human body with the exception of palms, soles and dorsum of the feet.

Detailed explanation-3: -Supporting your epidermis: Your dermis’s structure provides strength and flexibility, and blood vessels help maintain your epidermis by transporting nutrients. Feeling different sensations: Nerve endings in your dermis allow you to feel different sensations, like pressure, pain, heat, cold and itchiness.
