Fibroblasts are the most common cell type in the dermis and are responsible for producing collagen and other extracellular matrix components. Macrophages are involved in immune responses and mast cells play a role in inflammation and allergic reactions. Monocytes, reticulocytes, osteocytes, goblet cells, parietal cells, chondrocytes, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and epithelial cells are not typically found in the dermis.
