What is another name for the dermis layer of the skin?

Basal layer
True skin
Epidermis
Subcutaneous layer

The correct answer is: True skin

The dermis layer of the skin is sometimes referred to as the "true skin" because it is the thickest and most dense layer of skin and provides structural support to the body. This layer is primarily made up of connective tissue, blood vessels, nerves, and hair follicles. The other options are incorrect because the basal layer, or stratum basale, is the deepest layer of the epidermis and the source of new skin cells. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin and does not include the dermis. The subcutaneous layer is also known as the hypodermis, and it is a layer of fat and connective tissue that lies beneath the dermis.
