TLDR The dermis of Millivora Capenesis has two layers with various connective tissues, blood vessels, glands, and sensory structures.
The study examined the dorsal skin of three Millivora Capenesis, focusing on the dermis, which was found to consist of papillary and reticular layers. The papillary layer contained loose connective tissue with abundant collagenous fibers, few elastic fibers, blood capillaries, a large artery, a large vein, and Meissner and Pacinian corpuscles. The reticular layer contained dense connective tissue with skin appendages such as hair, sebaceous glands, and sweat glands. Two types of hair follicles, primary and secondary, were identified, with sebaceous glands surrounding the hair follicles. The sweat glands were simple saccular glands lined by low cuboidal epithelium, while their ducts were lined by stratified cuboidal epithelium. Meissner corpuscles were located in the papillary layer, and Pacinian corpuscles were found in the reticular layer, both appearing as onion shapes.
