Since this is not my area of expertise, I searched Google under the key words "dermis epidermis" to get these possible sources:

http://dermatology.about.com/cs/skinanatomy/a/anatomy.htm
http://1stholistic.com/Beauty/skin/skin_parts-of-the-skin.htm
http://www.scienceclarified.com/He-In/Integumentary-System.html

In the future, you can find the information you desire more quickly, if you use appropriate key words to do your own search. Also see http://hanlib.sou.edu/searchtools/.

I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
