Above subcutaneous layer Sensitive layer of connective tissue that contains:
Blood vessels Lymph vessels Nerves Sudoriferous glands - sweat Sebaceous glands - oil Hair follicles Arrector pili muscles papillae
Two layers Reticular layer(deeper layer) Papillary layer (dermal papillae, tactile corpuscles, melanin)
Collagen fibers and elastin Allow skin to stretch and contract as necessary Weakened fibers = wrinkles, sagging, cellulite
