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.
The two layers of the dermis are the papillary and reticular layers. The subcutaneous tissue is a layer of fat and connective tissue in which there are larger blood vessels and nerves. This layer regulates the temperature of both the body and the skin itself.
