Question

during a biology class, mia is asked to identify the two major components of the dermis while examining a skin model. which of the following should she choose? papillary layers and reticular layers sensory receptors and touch receptors dermal papillae and subcutaneous layer capillaries and nerves

Explanation:

The dermis, the layer of skin beneath the epidermis, has two main layers: the papillary layer (superficial, loose connective tissue with dermal papillae) and the reticular layer (deeper, dense irregular connective tissue). Sensory/touch receptors are part of the dermis but not its major structural components. The subcutaneous layer is below the dermis, and capillaries/nerves are present but not the two major components. So the correct option is the one with papillary and reticular layers.

Answer:

A. Papillary layers and reticular layers
