Study Notes
Dermal Components
- Collagen fibers provide the dermis with its strength and resistance to stretching.
- Elastic fibers grant the skin flexibility.
- Reticular layer of the dermis is composed of dense irregular connective tissue, offering resilience to the skin.
Dermal Layers
- Papillary layer, the superficial layer of the dermis, is predominantly made up of loose connective tissue.
- Papillary layer inflammation is associated with dermatitis.
Dermal Circulation
- Arteries supplying the skin lie within the dermis.
Dermal Water Content
- The water content of the skin is collectively known as the dermal hydration.
Additional Information
- Collagen and elastic fibers together contribute to the overall strength and elasticity of the dermis.
