the terminal networks of the blood capillaries of the skin are located in the papillary layer of the dermis.
the terminal networks of the blood capillaries of the skin are located in the papillary layer of the dermis.
in which layer of the dermis are the terminal networks of the blood capillaries of the skin located?
papillary
the papillary region is composed of loose areolar connective tissue. this is named for its fingerlike projections called "papillae", that extend toward the epidermis and contain either terminal networks of blood capillaries or tactile meissner's corpuscles.









































section::::layers.:reticular dermis.









































the reticular dermis is the lower layer of the dermis, found under the papillary dermis, composed of dense irregular connective tissue featuring densely packed collagen fibers. it is the primary location of dermal elastic fibers.
dermis
lymphatic capillaries are slightly larger in diameter than blood capillaries, and have closed ends (unlike the blood capillaries open at one end to the arterioles and open at the other end to the venules). this structure permits interstitial fluid to flow into them but not out. lymph capillaries have a greater internal oncotic pressure than blood capillaries, due to the greater concentration of plasma proteins in the lymph.
