papillary patterns

ridges of fingertips and gripping ability of fingers and feet caused by?

reticular layer

deepest skin layer containing blood vessels, sweat and oil gands, and deep pressure receptors called almellar corpuscles

cutaneous sensory receptors

tiny sensors located in skin that help with touch, pressure, temp, and pain receptors, prevent microbes from penetrating body

collagen

what type of fibers are responsible for toughness of dermis, attract water, and keep skin hydrated

elastic

what type of fibers give the skin elasticity and youth

number of collagen and elastic fibers decreases, and hypodermis (subcutaneous) layer loses fat leading to wrinklage

why does our skin age

vascular / homeostasis of body temp

is the dermis vascular or avascular and why is that important?

capillaries / swollen / red and warm / radiate from / bypasses / capillaries
