The two major layers of the dermis are the papillary layer and reticular layer.

The reticular layer is made of dense irregular connective tissue and collagen bundles and consists of nerve fibers, accessory organs, lymphatic vessels, and blood vessels. Both the layers have blood vessel network, sensory neurons, and lymphatic vessels.
