Description

This functional tissue unit (FTU) illustration includes cell types related to the epidermis in the ASCT+B Table Skin v1.4. Cell types and measurements were referenced from Aleemardani et al. 2021; Roig-Rosello and Rousselle 2020 and Lundström et al. 2018. Uberon describes this FTU as follows: "The grooves in the outermost layer of skin on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet where sweat glands open."
