- Papillary Layer: Each of these bumps or areas of the dermis that protrude into the epidermis is called a epiderma ridges What is the function of the dermal papilla? Reticular Layer: "Reticular" means network and can refer to many structures, not just reticular connective tissue. This layer of the dermis is made of mostly dense irregular connective tissue. Why?_ Draw what you see. Label the collagen fibers, fibroblast nuclei, and any hair or glands that you see. HYPODERMIS: Fibroblast: Collagen Dense regular connective tissue Dense irregular connective tissue You will see a tissue that looks like soap bubbles. Each "bubble" is a single cell with one nucleus pushed to the very edge of the bubble. The rest of the cell is filled with fat or adipose, giving the tissue its name: loose connective tissue. You also find this tissue in areas of the body where fat is stored (yellow bone marrow, greater omentum, etc.) What is the function of this tissue in this layer of the skin?
