Dermis (corium) · Škára
Skin & appendages
Looks like
The thick living layer under the surface skin, full of collagen, vessels, nerves and glands.
What it does
Gives skin its strength and stretch, feeds the surface and carries touch, heat and pain.
Keeping it well
Sun protection and not smoking keep its collagen; deep cuts through it leave a scar.
