    thick skin layer beneath epidermis with connective tissue and glands

    The dermis is the thick layer of skin beneath the outer epidermis. It contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and glands, playing a crucial role in skin's structural integrity and elasticity. This layer is essential for thermoregulation and sensation, as it houses nerve endings that respond to touch, pain, and temperature.
