3 Epidermal Cells
Mechanoreceptors
Melanocytes
Langerhans Cells
Function of Mechanoreceptores
Receptor cells that are sensitive to touch and pressure
Function of Melanocytes
Produce protein
Protect nucleus from radiation
Function of Langerhans cells
Immune cells that surveil the epidermis
Layers of Epidermis
Stratum Corneum Stratum Lucidum (Only in hands and feet) Stratum Granulosum Stratum Spinosum Stratum Basale
Function of Stratum Corneum
Protects inner layers of skin and waterproofs
Function of Stratum Lucidum
Lowers effects of friction on the skin
Function of Stratum Granulosum
help to form a waterproof barrier that functions to prevent fluid loss from the body
Cells contain granules that make keratin
