Question

where on the human body would you expect to find thick skin?
answers: a - e
a the palms of the hands and soles of the feet
b the backs of the knee
c the back of your arm
d the backs of your hands and tops of your feet
e the scalp

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Thick skin is found in areas that experience more friction and wear. The palms of the hands and soles of the feet are constantly in contact with objects or the ground, so they have thicker skin (with a thicker stratum corneum) to protect underlying tissues. Other areas like the backs of the knee, back of the arm, backs of hands/top of feet, and scalp have thinner skin as they don't need the same level of protective thickness from constant friction.

Answer:

A. The palms of the hands and soles of the feet
