Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The dermis exists between the epidermis and the hypodermis. While the epidermis is the thinnest layer of skin, the dermis is the thickest layer of skin. The dermis contains collagen and elastin, which help make it so thick and supportive of your skin’s overall structure.
Detailed explanation-2: -Dermis: Thick skin has a thinner dermis than thin skin, and does not contain hairs, sebaceous glands, or apocrine sweat glands. Thick skin is only found in areas where there is a lot of abrasion-fingertips, palms and the soles of your feet. This is a picture of an H&E stained section of the epidermis of thin skin.
