Describe the two layers of the dermis. which layer make the skin stretchable and able to rebound?

The dermis is the second layer of the skin that protects the human body from stress and strain. It is found between the epidermis and the hypodermis or the subcutaneous tissues.

The dermis layer is composed of two layers: papillary dermis and reticular dermis.

The reticular dermis is the thick layer of the dermis, composed of the dense irregular connective tissues. It contains of elastic protein fibers that makes the skin stretchable and elastic (able to rebound).

Therefore, the reticular dermis makes the skin stretchable and elastic (able to rebound).

a less-active, mature cell in areolar connective tissue would be a:

a. fibroblast

b. fibrocyte

c. chondroblast

d. chondrocyte
