Specialized Cells of the Epidermis

2. Melanocytes: Found deep in the epidermis, as melanin is made it accumulates in granules called melanosomes. Exposure to sunlight can also increase the amount of melanin produced.

Skin color 3 pigments – Melanin – Carotene – Hemoglobin

Keratinocytes Most abundant. – Pushed up by the building of new cells. At the surface they are dead. – You lose millions per day and produce a new epidermis every days. In body areas with lots of friction and use epidermis production is faster.

Langerhans’ cells Star shaped phagocytes Activate immune system!

Merkel Cells Touch receptors! – Where the dermis meets the epidermis
