Dermis
Latin dermis; corium
Code TH H3.12.00.1.03001
A graphic representation of the interface between skin epithelium and the underlying connective tissue. Zone B, indicating the region of overlapping projections of epithelium and connective tissue, is the papillary dermis. Zone C, indicating the region of dermis that lies immediately subjacent to the interdigitations of epithelium, is the reticular dermis.

The dermis is a layer of skin between the epidermis (with which it makes up the cutis) and subcutaneous tissues, and is composed of two layers, the papillary and reticular dermis.[1] Structural components of the dermis are collagen, elastic fibers, and extrafibrillar matrix (previously called ground substance).[2]

Contents

Components of the Dermis

The dermis is composed of three major types of cells[3]: 1. Fibroblasts 2. Macrophages 3. Adipocytes

Apart from these cells, the dermis is also composed of matrix components such as collagen (which provides strength), elastin (which provides elasticity), and glycosaminoglycans[3].

Stratum papillare

The stratum papillare sends conical elevations (papillae) into the epidermis which contain either terminal networks of blood capillaries or tactile Meissner's corpuscles. [4]

Stratum reticulare

The stratum reticulare possesses coarser and more regularly arranged collagenous fiber bundles.
