18.  If you transfer palm skin to the leg would the leg sweat when the patient is nervous?  Will it sweat at all?  Will it regain sensation?  When will the sensory pattern be palm-like or leg-like?

Answer:
Palm skin on the leg may sweat with time.  Usually palm eccrine glands respond to emotion or stress and eccrine glands on the rest of the body respond to temperature regulation.  It may regain some sensation over time.  The sensory pattern will be leg-like.
