Birbek’s rod-like granules are found in which cells? and where are these cells ?
Langerhans cells. In stratum spinosum of epidermis.
Which of the following are true of the arrector pili muscle?
• are composed of bundles of myoepithelial cells
• help push sebum onto the skin surface
• effect hair position in humans
• are directly attached to the external root sheath by desmosomes

-++–
it’s smoothe muscle cells!
and that’s it’s minor function
are attached to connective tissue sheath
