The original question asked:Which of the following is (are) often absent in thick skin but typically present in thin skin?

 

Arrector pili muscles

Meissner’s corpuscles

Stratum basale

Stratum corneum--I know it is not this one for sure

 

I think it is the Meissner's corpuscles since they have to do with pain/touch, but am unsure. Can someone help me confirm?
