erm... this one basic things dulu la ye..
heee.. sama sama kita kumpul ilmu..

korang boleh rujuk post lepas untuk check balik part 1 and part 2.

Skin Part 1 - Function
Skin Part 2 - Epidermis.


Skin - DERMIS

Anatomical Structures of Human Skin


◕ The dermis is the layer of skin beneath the epidermis that consists of connective tissue and cushions the body from stress and strain. 
◕ The dermis is tightly connected to the epidermis by a basement membrane. 
◕ It also harbors many nerve endings that provide the sense of touch and heat.
◕ It contains the hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, apocrine glands, lymphatic vessels and blood vessels. 
◕ The blood vessels in the dermis provide nourishment and waste removal from its own cells as well as from the Stratum basale of the epidermis. 
◕ The dermis is structurally divided into two areas: 
  • a superficial area adjacent to the epidermis, called the papillary region
⋆ The papillary region is composed of loose areolar connective tissue. It is named for its fingerlike projections called papillae, that extend toward the epidermis. 
⋆The papillae provide the dermis with a "bumpy" surface that interdigitates with the epidermis, strengthening the connection between the two layers of skin. 
⋆ In the palms, fingers, soles, and toes, the influence of the papillae projecting into the epidermis forms contours in the skin's surface. 
⋆ These epidermal ridges occur in patterns (see: fingerprint) that are genetically and epigenetically determined and are therefore unique to the individual, making it possible to use fingerprints or footprints as a means of identification.


  •  a deep thicker area known as the reticular region.

⋆ The reticular region lies deep in the papillary region and is usually much thicker. 
⋆ It is composed of dense irregular connective tissue, and receives its name from the dense concentration of collagenous, elastic, and reticular fibers that weave throughout it. 
⋆ These protein fibers give the dermis its properties of strength, extensibility, and elasticity
⋆  Also located within the reticular region are the roots of the hairs, sebaceous glands, sweat glands, receptors, nails, and blood vessels. 
 Tattoo ink is held in the dermis. 
⋆ Stretch marks often from pregnancy and obesity, are also located in the dermis.
