Answer Choices:
The palms of the hands and soles of the feet
❥ Thick skin is specialized skin found only on the palms and soles, areas subject to the greatest friction and pressure.
❥ It contains an extra layer in the epidermis called the stratum lucidum, which is absent in thin skin.
❥ Thick skin also has a thicker stratum corneum with densely packed keratin, offering extra protection.
❥ Unlike thin skin, it lacks hair follicles and sebaceous glands but has more sweat glands.
❥ This specialization allows palms and soles to withstand mechanical stress during activities like walking or gripping.
