Required information Dennis Strete/McGraw Hill How does the structure of the reticular dermis relate to its functional properties? Multiple Choice Bundles of densely packed collagen fibers help the skin withstand stretching in many different directions. The clear, glassy matrix provides cushioning and support. The loosely organized tissue allows the diffusion of nutrients and the movement of white blood cells between the dermis and the avascular epidermis. Multiple layers of large, round adipocytes store fat. The loose network of branching reticular fibers provides a scaffolding to help store large numbers of white blood cells.
