What is another word for corium?
Pronunciation: [kˈɒɹi͡əm] (IPA) 
Corium is the dermal layer of the skin that contains blood vessels, nerves, sweat glands, and hair follicles. This layer plays a crucial role in protecting the body from external pathogens and maintaining the body's temperature. Some synonyms for corium include dermis, cutis, derma, and true skin. These terms are often used interchangeably to refer to the same layer of skin. The dermis is composed of two layers, the papillary layer, and the reticular layer. The papillary layer is located just above the epidermis and contains numerous finger-like projections that interlock with the epidermis to keep it firmly in place. The reticular layer is the deeper and thicker layer of the corium that forms the majority of the dermis.
