Answer 1

Answer:

Subpapillary plexus nourishes the dermal papillae and epidermis.

Explanation:

The superficial subpapillary plexus could also be regarded to as superficial plexus . It is composed of postcapillary venules found at the junction of the  papillary and reticular dermis and the lower plexus at the dermal subcutaneous interface.
