A comparison of thick skin (left) and thin skin (right) shows that thick skin has a thick epidermis with well developed strata, while lacking hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Thin skin, however, has a thin epidermis with proportionately reduced strata and no stratum lucidum; hair follicles and sebaceous glands are present. Both types possess sweat glands. 200x, 400x
