How Does the Vascular System Function in the Dermis?
The dermis is richly vascularized, containing an extensive network of blood vessels that play a key role in thermoregulation and nutrient supply. The blood vessels in the dermis are organized into two plexuses: the superficial plexus, located at the junction of the papillary and reticular dermis, and the deep plexus, situated near the subcutaneous layer. This vascular network ensures efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients while facilitating the removal of metabolic waste.
