The second layer of skin that contains blood vessels, nerves, sweat glands, and hair follicles

Real World Example

Imagine trying to organize a busy, bustling city where all essential services are running smoothly beneath the surface. The dermis of your skin functions much like the infrastructure of this city, housing everything necessary to keep it alive and thriving. Just as a city relies on its underground networks of roads, utilities, and communication lines, the dermis contains the blood vessels, nerves, sweat glands, and hair follicles that ensure your skin remains healthy and responsive.
