Typed answer
Why does it makes sense that melanocytes are found in the outer layer Because melanocyte cells are too big to be located deeper in the body. Because the outer layer of skin is where all actively functioning skin cells are located. Because the melanocyte function is dependent on other cells found in the outer skin layer. Because all skin cells originate in the outer layer. Because melanocyte activity can be altered in response to the presence of sunlight.
Dandruff is caused by excessive shedding of cells from the outer layer of skin in the scalp. Thus, dandruff is composed of cells from which epidermal layer?
What statement about sweat glands is true? Sudoriferous glands are located in the epidermis. Apocrine glands are stimulated by anxiety or fear. Mammary glands secrete sweat into numerous ducts that empty into pores. Eccrine glands respond to external and internal heat.
Match the following structures with the skin layer in which they are located Pacinian corpuscles Melanocytes Merkel cells Langerhans cells Meissner's corpuscles A Epidermis B Dermis C Subcutaneous
True or false sweat glands and apocrine glands are the same thing.
