The reticular dermis is in direct contact with which layer?

  1. Epidermis

  2. Papillary dermis

  3. Subcutaneous layer

  4. Stratum corneum

The correct answer is: Subcutaneous layer

The reticular dermis, the lower layer of the dermis, is in direct contact with the subcutaneous layer, also known as the hypodermis. This is the deepest layer of the skin and is primarily composed of fat tissue. The epidermis, papillary dermis, and stratum corneum are all layers above the reticular dermis and are not in direct contact with it. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin, the papillary dermis is the upper layer of the dermis, and the stratum corneum is the top layer of the epidermis.
