    9.2   Thick skin Version française
Section of the epidermis of thick skin.

This field shows the two main layers of the epidermis: the stratum corneum (A) and the stratified squamous epithelium (B).

The cornified layer of the epidermis is composed of soft keratin formed by the accumulation of cytoskeletal residues derived from the underlying squamous epidermal cells.

The dermis (C) is composed of a dense connective tissue. The dermal papillae (*) of this tissue deeply invaginate the internal surface of the epidermis.
