Rete ridges in normal human skin vary based on anatomic location and donor age, with reported ranges of 50–400 μm in width and 50–200 μm in-depth [26,27]. Rete ridges tend to be shorter and less abundant in photo-exposed zones such as the forearm than in photo-protected zones such as the buttock . Table 1.
The epidermis forms an undulating appearance, with intermittent regular protrusions of the epidermis layer (rete ridges or pegs) into the upper layers of the underlying dermis. In some areas of the body such as the palms and soles, the rete pegs are less pronounced.
During human skin development, specific interactions between epidermal and dermal cell lineages give rise to fully functional skin that contains specialized appendages, including hair follicles, sweat glands, and rete ridges.
