What is under the epidermis?

What is under the epidermis?

1. our top layer of skin.

2. The Dermis has two layers, it is located just below your epidermis.

3. The papillary dermis: This is the upper layer of the dermis.

   • Reticular dermis: in the same place.

4. In the epidermis we have epithelial tissue.

5. Both layers have connective tissue. It is different because it does not necessarily involve cells.

   • connective tissue proteins: laminin, elastin, desmin.
     • Dense connective tissue, and the purpose of this is to make things stay still.

6. One of the main things we find in the papillary dermis is the blood vessels.

7. Capillaries must deliver oxygen and nutrients that nourish not only your dermis, but actually go up to the epidermis as well because the epidermis has no blood vessels.

8. Another thing we have in our dermis are nerve endings.

   • it allows us to perceive things like touch and even pain, and then they will transmit a signal through the nerve.

9. In the reticular dermis: it is important to have thick and dense connective tissue.

   • One of the things that you can have is a gland. Sweat and exocrine glands of other varieties that begin in its reticular dermis.
     • There is also a follicle, where hair comes out.

10. The dermis is anchored to the horse, or to the hair follicle.

    • The arrector pili muscle: It is involved in spreading or making your hair stand on end when you are cold or when you are afraid.

11. The hypodermis: hiccup just means "underneath" and this layer is just below the dermis.

    • Another name is subcutaneous fat.
    • Under this layer is the muscle.
    • A third degree burn, which goes from the hypodermis into things like fat, the muscle underneath, the bone underneath as well.
      • a third degree burn is characterized by not having any pain, and has a darker coloration, because now you are burning more than just connective tissue.
