What does the reticular dermis layer contain?

  1. Blood vessels and capillaries

  2. Hair follicles and sweat glands

  3. Connective tissue

  4. Nervous tissue

The correct answer is: Connective tissue

The reticular dermis layer is the thick, lower layer of the dermis composed of dense connective tissue. This layer consists of collagen and elastic fibers that give the skin its strength and elasticity. Option A is incorrect as blood vessels and capillaries are located in the papillary dermis, the thinner layer above the reticular dermis. Option B is incorrect as hair follicles and sweat glands are located within the dermis, but not specifically in the reticular layer. Option D is incorrect as nervous tissue is not found in the dermis, but rather in the subcutaneous tissue layer below.
