Solution
The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect. The dermis is derived from mesoderm and contains collagen, elastic fibres, blood vessels, sensory structures, and fibroblasts. The dermis is composed of 2 layers, the more superficial papillary dermis and the deeper reticular dermis. The mesoderm forms skeletal muscle, the skeleton, the dermis of skin, connective tissue, the urogenital system, the heart, blood (lymph cells), the kidney and the spleen.
