Rickets (bones get bendy)
44
What are the cells in the dermis called?
Fibroblasts
45
What is the dermis between?
-epidermis and subcutaneous (hypodermic) layer
46
Where are the accessory structures of the skin anchored?

What are the 2 layers of the epidermis from deep to superficial?
-reticular -papillary
48
What is the structure of the papillary layer and what is its function?
-Has papilla (like little fingers) -Made up of loose connective tissue (areolar) -few cells; lots of fiber -delicate layer; smaller capillaries, small sensory neurons, lymphatics -anchors dermis to epidermis -has dermal papillae projecting between epidermal ridges
