The dermis. Mucous and serous glands are prominent in the dermis, and expel their secretory contents to the surface of the epidermis through excretory ducts. The dense connective tissue (CT) of the dermis is dense irregular CT, which is close to the epidermis, and the CT of the more distal region of the dermis is composed of dense regular CT.
