The dermis consists of a papillary and a reticular layer which serve to protect and cushion the body from stress and strain. Differentiate among the regions of the dermis and the hypodermis. The dermis is divided into a papillary region and a reticular region.
What is the function of the papillary layer of the dermis? -provides O2/nutrients/support to epidermis What are the structures found in the papillary layer of the dermis? papillary plexus (with capillary loops): blood supply to skin Meissner's (tactile) corpuscles: light touch receptors What are the functions of the reticular layer of the dermis?
