Underneath the volar friction surfaces is a highly developed, anastomosing system of alkaline phosphatase‐reactive capillaries; numerous cholinesterase‐positive hederiform nerve end‐organs are present in the scalp, forehead, lower abdomen, back, and perianal region; sinus hair follicles occur on the flexor surface of the antebrachium; and a dense field of gigantic sebaceous and admixed apocrine glands constitutes the epigastric gland.
