PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The skin comprises 15% of the total adult body weight; its thickness ranges from <0.1mm at its thinnest part (eyelids) to 1.5mm at its thickest part (palms of the hands and soles of the feet) (Kolarsick et al, 2011).

Detailed explanation-2: -The epidermis is the top layer, and the dermis is the middle layer. 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Skin is naturally thinner on some parts of the body. The skin on the eyelids is only 0.5 millimeters (mm) thick, while the skin on the heels can be up to 4 mm thick. The skin is made up of three layers, each with a different role: The hypodermis is the innermost layer, made up of tissue, fat, and sweat glands.
