The dermis is also known as?

  1. Outer skin

  2. Middle skin

  3. True skin

  4. False skin

The correct answer is: True skin

The dermis is the inner layer of the skin, below the epidermis. It contains nerve endings, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. The other options are incorrect because A. The outermost layer of the skin is the epidermis, not the dermis. B. The dermis is located in the middle layer of the skin, not the outer or inner layer. D. The dermis is a real, essential layer of the skin, not a false or imaginary one.
