Epidermis<br />

The type <strong>of</strong> epidermis produced is determined in<br />

part by the type <strong>of</strong> keratin protein that skin<br />

makes. This is the reason some diseases are<br />

confined only to the palms and soles<br />

The granular layer and stratum spinosum<br />

are<br />

thick in the palms and soles(~1mm) and<br />

virtually absent on the abdomen and thin skin<br />

surfaces (~0.1mm)<br />
