Topographic variations of the skin impedence in the normal young adults

In the normal young adults were studied electrical characteristics of the skin in five different regions. The results obtained have demonstrated presence of the topographic differences of the external resistance as well as capacity. It does not seem like that these differences can be correlated with the thickness at the corneal layer, but rather with the different glandular composition from one region to another and probably with the different hydration state of the skin. There were also demonstrated differences between sexes, characterized by the lower external resistance in males than in females.
