Question
Chapter 5, Problem 3TYC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The fact that the dermis has two histologically distinct layers instead of one.
Introduction:
The dermis is a connective tissue layer, which is located below the epidermis. Its thickness varies from 0.2 mm to 4 mm. It is mainly made up of collagen and contains elastic and reticular fibers, other fibrous tissue, and fibroblasts. It has an abundant supply of cutaneous glands, nerve endings, and blood vessels. The nails and hair follicles are also found in this layer of skin.

Describe the overall functions of the dermis.
Identify the 2 layers of the dermis. Describe their locations and the specific type of connective tissue that they are made of?
The cuticle is a complex non-cellular layer secreted by the epidermis. It is the seat of complex processes and changes. Along this line, how are sclerotization and melanization of the integument influenced by the hemolymph? Elaborate.
