Dermis
The dermis consists of papillary and reticular layers. The papillary layer, located immediately beneath the epidermis, is composed of loose connective tissue. The papillary layer contains dermal papillae that alternate with epidermal ridges or pegs (rete ridges or pegs). The reticular layer is composed of dense, irregular CT and contains large blood vessels, nerves and sometimes sweat glands. 100x
