The BLANK is found 1.6 mm in the tissue

  1. Muscle layer

  2. Subcutaneous dermal

  3. Epidermis

  4. Vascular network

The correct answer is: Subcutaneous dermal

The subcutaneous dermal is the correct answer because it is the layer of tissue that is found 1.6 mm below the dermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin and is usually only a few millimeters thick, making it too shallow to be the correct answer. The muscle layer is found much deeper in the tissue and is typically several centimeters deep, making it incorrect. The vascular network is a system of blood vessels and is not a layer of tissue, making it an inappropriate choice for this question.
