Dermis

The papillary layer of the dermis, composed of loose connective tissue, forms an undulating interface with the overlying epidermis. At this junction, dermal papillae alternate with epidermal ridges or pegs (rete ridges or pegs) projecting downward from the epidermis. The thicker reticular layer of dermis is composed of dense irregular connective tissue. 200x
