At the junction of dermis and subcutaneous tissue, arteries form deep cutaneous plexus. Its function is to supply oxygen and nutrients to the tissues in the hypodermis, dermis, hair follicles, sebaceous glands and sweat glands.ypodermis layer-Function of hypodermis. Hypodermis, also known as subcutaneous tissue, has important functions. Hypodermis layer lies immediately below the dermis. It is the lowermost layer of our integumentary system. Though hypodermis is not part of the skin, it is very essential for anchoring the skin to the body.
Dermis. The dermis is the deepest vascular inner skin layer, and is responsible for providing the skin, its strength, and elasticity. This is because of the fibers of the collagen and elastin. The thickness varies, which is 0.3 mm (min) on the eyelids, and 3.0 mm (max) on the back. The regulation of the body temperature is also undertaken by the dermis. When the body is exposed to heat, blood vessels increase the blood flow to the skin, helping the heat to escape.
