human skin
Human skin, whose cells are generated continuously by the body, serves as a protective barrier between the inside of the human body and the environment.
The stratum lucidum, also known as the hyaline layer, is found in the epidermis of thick, glabrous (hairless) skin. Specifically, it is located in the skin of the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet.12
Anatomically, this clear layer is situated between the stratum granulosum (granular layer) and the stratum corneum (horny layer).12
