The Dermis

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

The dermis is the layer of skin beneath the epidermis, containing blood vessels, nerves, and glands.

Show

A wound reaching the dermis reaches blood vessels, which the epidermis lacks.

Watch for

The dermis is the middle layer, not the deepest.
