ANS: B, C
This reticular region of the dermis contains cells called fibroblasts, a large contribution of collagen, and some coarse elastic fibers. Fibroblasts produce the protein fibers collagen and elastin. Collagen fibers form the strength of the dermis; elastin fibers are capable of recoil and make the dermis somewhat elastic. Keratin is in the epidermis; sebum is a lipid substance; cerumen is wax; melanocytes produce melanin in the lower epidermis; and adipose tissue is subcutaneous and is not a protein.
