The dermis houses blood vessels, nerve endings, hair follicles, and glands. There are many cell types found within the connective tissue of the dermis, including fibroblasts, macrophages, adipocytes, mast cells, Schwann cells, and stem cells.


blood vessels help maintain your epidermis by transporting nutrients. Feeling different sensations: Nerve endings in your dermis allow you to feel different sensations, like pressure, pain, heat, cold and itchiness.

Bones are discrete organs made up of bone tissue, plus a few other things. The main misconception about bones then, is that they are made up of dead tissue.

Blood vessels and nerves are found in skin, muscles, and bone to provide nutrients, oxygen, and signals to these structures.
