Dermis

The dermis is one of three main layers of the skin. It is below the epidermis (superficial layer of skin) and above the hypodermis (essentially composed of fat that is traversed by blood vessels, and containing sudoriferous glands and the roots of longer hairs). The dermis is made up of conjunctive tissue, a gelatinous structure that assembles proteins and serves as a connection and support for various other tissues and organs.
