is the bottom of your foot made of cells? explain why or why not?

Answer 1

Actually, the bottom of your foot is made of former cells. Skin cells reproduce rapidly as they are constantly destroyed by normal wear and tear. In specialized areas of your body, such as the soles of the feet (and palms of the hands) the cells die out but aren't sloughed off and build up into a layer of callus.

There is collagen present in the cells - collagen is a type of strong biological fiber that is present in many areas of your body. When the skin cells die, the organelles inside the dead cells no longer function, the skin dries out and turns into this tough, pliable matrix full of collagen.

So if you pick at or trim the roughest areas of your feet, you'll notice that it doesn't hurt -- the nerve endings are also dead in that layer of callus. If you dig deeper though, ouch, there's the live tissue just below the surface.

So the bottom of your feet are made up of the "skeletons" of the cells there that once were very much alive.
