The papillary and reticular layer.

19
Q

What is the papillary layer of the dermis made up of?

A

Contains areolar tissue

20
Q

What does the reticular layer consist of?

A

Dense irregular connective tissue (elastin and collagen)

21
Q

Where are melonocytes located?

A

In the basale layer of the epidermis

22
Q
