The papillary layer of the dermis is the layer directly underlying the epidermis and contains blood vessels and nerves. It is the deepest layer penetrated by Cedric's cut, as it did not reach the hypodermis below. The stratum corneum, stratum spinosum, stratum basale, and stratum granulosum are all layers of the epidermis above the papillary layer.
