Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Thick skin is present on the soles of the feet and palms of the hands. This is because these areas receive more friction than other areas of the body, and thicker skin helps to protect from potential damage.
Detailed explanation-2: -The epidermis is the thin outermost layer of the skin. Thickness in this layer varies by different skin types and location of the skin on the body. Mentioned earlier, the skin on the bottom of feet and on the palms of your hands is the thickest, which is on average 1.5mm thick.
Detailed explanation-3: -Stratum Lucidum This thin layer of cells is found only in the thick skin of the palms, soles, and digits.
