Etymology

Simple plural of cutis, forming a Latin-style plural. Used in anatomical texts and medical discussions when referring to multiple skin specimens or comparative skin studies.

Kelly Says

In anatomical textbooks, comparing cutises from different body areas shows that your skin varies dramatically—palms are 4mm thick, eyelids are less than 1mm, all the same basic tissue but wildly different!
