The major blood vessels that supply the skin lie between the dermis and the epidermis.

a. True

b. False

False. They are not found between the dermis and the epidermis. The main blood vessels that supply the skin and provide the necessary nutrients and oxygen through the circulation of blood, is on the layer called hypodermis. The dermis lodges lymphatic vessels, sensory receptors and hairy roots and the epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin.

The answer to this question would be: b. False

The area between dermis and epidermis is small and get oxygen from nearby capillary vessel bed, not a major blood vessel. You can find the major blood vessel in the dermis area. This vessel will supply enough blood to the skin, glands, and receptors inside the dermis.
