the __________ is the deeper layer of the dermis that supplies the skin with oxygen and nutrients.
select the correct response:
reticular layer
basal cell layer
stratum lucidum
papillary layer

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Reticular layer: Deeper layer of dermis, has blood vessels that supply oxygen/nutrients.
• Basal cell layer: Part of epidermis, not dermis’ deeper layer.
• Stratum lucidum: Thin epidermal layer (thick skin), not dermis.
• Papillary layer: Superficial dermis layer, not deeper.

So the correct layer is the reticular layer.

Answer:

A. reticular layer
