Bundles of densely packed collagen fibers help the skin withstand stretching in many different directions.
The clear, glassy matrix provides cushioning and support.
The loosely organized tissue allows the diffusion of nutrients and the movement of white blood cells between the dermis and the avascular epidermis.
The sparse network of branching reticular fibers provides a scaffolding to help store large numbers of white blood cells.
