Detailed explanation-1: -The papillary dermis is composed of loose connective tissue that is highly vascular.

The dermis houses blood vessels, nerve endings, hair follicles, and glands.

The ECM is composed of a moderate amount of ground substance and two main types of protein fibers: elastic and reticular fibers.
