Describe Melanocytes.
|
The melanocytes are dendritic cells only found in the deepest layer of the epidermis. Their function is to produce melanin , the pigment which gives the skin its colour, and to transfer it to the surrounding keratinocytes by means of cytoplasmic processes. Since they account for 5% of the cells in the epidermis, each melanocyte has to supply melanin to 35 keratinocytes.
