The underlying, supportive layer of the skin. Collagen molecules in the dermis give structure and toughness to the skin.

the inner, thicker layer of skin.

Greek = skin, adjective - dermal.

The dermis is the middle layer of the skin between the epidermis and the subcutaneous layer. While the dermis contains blood vessels, lymph vessels and nerves, it is mostly made up of bundles of protein called collagen. Collagen keeps skin wrinkle free by providing support. As you age, you naturally lose some collagen but exposure to UV accelerates this process. Elastin is also found in the dermis and, as the name suggests, gives skin it's elastic qualities. Exposure to UV breaks down elastin causing the skin to sag and form wrinkles.

The layer of the skin deep to the epidermis, consisting of a dense bed of vascular connective tissue.

The "middle portion" of the skin and its support structure, containing nerves, blood vessels, oil glands, and hair follicles.

Underlying layers of the skin, containing hair follicles, fat cells, and sweat glands.

Roles: Nourishing the epidermis. Controlling its renewal. Guaranteeing the skin's elasticity and firmness Filtering the passage of molecules Thickness: 1 to 2 mm The dermis is a fibrous conjunctive tissue. It is composed of: - Fundamental substance (gel of Mucopolysaccharides, proteoglycanes and glycoproteins, responsible for the skin's springiness) - Fibers of elastin (ensuring the skin's elasticity) - Collagens (fibres ensuring the skin's firmness) - Fibroblasts (dendritic cells specific to the dermis and producing all the dermis' structural elements).

The lower layer of our skin. It is made up of nerves, hair follicles and blood vessels.

Dermis is a connective tissue derivative of the mesoderm containing three types of connective tissue fibers plus fibroblasts and macrophages. Two layers exist - reticular and papillary.

the skin layer below the epidermis. The dermis contains nerves, blood vessels, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and hair follicles. The dermis is responsible for the body’s heat regulation and it controls the pH (acid-base balance) of the skin. It is divided into 2 layers the papillary dermis and the reticular layer.

The skin is comprised of two layers, the outer layer which is the epidermis, and the inner layer which is the dermis.

One of the two layers of skin; a connective tissue layer under the epidermis containing elastic and collagen fibers, capillary networks, and nerve endings.

The dermis, which lies under the epidermis, makes up about 90 percent of the thickness of your skin. It contains a dense meshwork of collagen and elastin fibers, two types of protein. This meshwork supports lymph and blood vessels, nerves, muscle cells, sweat and sebaceous glands and hair follicles. Collagen and elastin fibers give your skin its strength and elasticity. Sebaceous glands produce an oily substance called sebum. which keeps your skin smooth and moist. Papillary dermis - small elevations of the layer of the skin that lie immediately under the epidermis that indent the inner surface of the epidermis; it is 113 microns thick. Reticular dermis - layer of connective tissue forming the deeper portion of the dermis; lies beneath the papillary dermis

or in Latin corium, is the skin region below epidermis. Mammalian dermis is approx. 10-20-times thicker than epidermis. The dermis shelters blood capillaries, certain glands, immunologically active cells, nerve endings, etc.. This region of the skin is thus the main site for dermatological drug delivery.

layer of dense connective tissue lying beneath the epidermis

The layer of the skin that lies just below the epidermis on most of the body. It is largely made up of collagen (fibrous or connective) tissue. The dermis, as a layer, makes up the bulk of the skin and is usually thickest on the back and the back of the neck. The dermis may best be thought of as the "leather layer" of the skin. The dermis protects the body from mechanical injury, binds water, stores water, maintains temperature and carries nerves to detect sensation and feeling. Blood vessels, lymph vessels, nerves, sweat glands, oil glands, hair follicles, hair erecting muscles and other structures reside in or course through the dermis.

This layer produces collagen, elastin and reticulin, the substances that lend structure and support to your largest organ. The dermis also houses nerve endings, blood vessels, oil glands and sweat glands.

A layer of the skin. The dermis is just underneath the outermost layer, the epidermis. The dermis contains most of the structures of the skin, such as the sweat glands and the hair follicles (where the hairs grow from). The blood vessels and nerves also run through the dermis. The dermis has an upper and lower layer. The upper layer is called the papillary layer and the lower layer is called the reticular layer. Underneath the dermis is the fatty insulating layer, the subcutaneous fat.
