What lies directly below the papillary dermis layer?

Epidermis
Reticular dermis
Subcutaneous layer
Stratum corneum

The correct answer is: Reticular dermis

The papillary dermis layer is the uppermost layer of the dermis, which rests directly below the epidermis. Therefore, option A is incorrect. Option C, the subcutaneous layer, is the deepest layer of the skin and is located below both the dermis and the hypodermis (subcutaneous tissue). Option B, the reticular dermis, lies directly below the papillary dermis layer and is composed of dense connective tissue, making it the correct answer. Option D, the stratum corneum, is the top layer of the epidermis and is not directly below the papillary dermis layer. Therefore, it is incorrect.
