Racoon Posted April 17, 2006 Report Share Posted April 17, 2006 im curious as to what the density of the human epidermus (sp?) is. anyone know? :doh: By Density, do you mean thickness? or weight? or both? The average sized adult has skin that weighs about 9 pounds! :hihi: and with exception of the palms and soles of feet, it is roughly as dense/thick as a sheet of construction paper! integuement is a nice fancy way of saying "to cover"the epidermous consisits of stratified squamous epilithelium cells. ( oh..,,harken back to my electron microscope Biology days..:xx: :lol: :cup:) The Epidermis has a "living" layer, and then the keratinized layer above. If I repeated something you already know, then I may have been confused by what you want to know :Exclamati Hope that helps (((tartanism))) Dude. :) pgrmdave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
