Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The thick bottom layer of the dermis (the inner layer of the skin). The reticular dermis has blood vessels and connective tissue that supports the skin. Hair follicles, oil and sweat glands, and other structures are also found in the reticular dermis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sweat Gland (Sudoriferous Gland) These glands are located in the epidermis and produce moisture (sweat) that is secreted through tiny ducts onto the surface of the skin (stratum corneum).

Detailed explanation-3: -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. The reticular layer is the deep layer, forming a thick layer of dense connective tissue that constitutes the bulk of the dermis.

Detailed explanation-4: -The dermis consists of fibers, ground substance, and cells but it also contains the epidermal adnexa, the arrector pili muscles, blood and lymph vessels, and nerve fibers. The fibers are collagenous, reticular, and elastic; about 90% are collagenous. The ground substance is the major component of the dermis.
