Abstract:
The article gives a systemic overview of data on biomechanical human skin status studied in vivo and in samples, on conformational reconstruction of collagen fascicles, and modification of the collagen ligature of derma at dilatation of induviate tissues, as well as results of own research of a limb derma dilatation function, the limb being under form and size modeling with the Ilizarov apparatus.

Papillary Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
Reticular Dermis

Underlying the papillary layer is the much thicker reticular layer, composed of dense, irregular connective...
