Detailed explanation-1: -The epidermis lies on the finger-like projections of the upper layer of dermis known as the dermal papillae. These dermal papillae cause the overlying epidermis to fold into ridges on the fingers that are called fingerprints, which are unique to each individual.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is the function of the epidermal ridges and dermal papillae? Epidermal ridges and dermal papillae provide increased surface area for the epidermis and dermis to connect. Where do the ducts empty? Ducts of eccrine sweat glands empty onto the surface of the skin.
Detailed explanation-3: -Sudoriferous glands are sweat producing glands. These are important to help maintain body temperature. Sebaceous glands are oil producing glands which help inhibit bacteria, keep us waterproof and prevent our hair and skin from drying out.
