AB Skin  is  composed  of  an  outermost,  avascular  layer  of  epidermis  with  an  inner  layer  of  dermis  made  up  of  elastic  tissue,  collagen,  and  reticular  fibers.  Subcutaneous  tissue  includes  fat  cells,  connective  tissue,  and  muscle.  Blood  vessels  pass  through  subcutaneous  tissues  to  reach  the  dermis  (Figure  45–1).
