The papillary layer of the dermis is composed of loosely packed connective tissue with numerous peg-like projections that provide a great deal of surface area connecting the dermis to the epidermis. Which of the statements below do not represent benefits provided by the papillary layer's anatomy?
◦ The looseness allows for phagocytes to roam through the tissue and search for infection.
◦ The high surface area allows for a stronger connection of dermis to epidermis.
◦ The spaces in the connective tissue allow many small blood vessels to deliver nutrients and pickup waste diffusing from the superficial epidermal layers.
◦ The looseness allows for easy separation of the dead cell layer of epidermis to be shed.
