would you expect skin cells to contain more or fewer mitochondria than muscle cell?
Skin cells are the cells that form a protective layer over humans bodies. If it wasn't for skin, everything such as blood vessels and muscle would be exposed to the world.
yes in your blood hair skin particles cells teeth nails ect.
langerhans cells. They orriginate in bone marrow and migrate to the epidermis.
Endoplasmic reticulum - blood vessels cytoplasm - blood Golgi bodies - stomach contractile vacuoles - bladder cell membrane - skin cell wall - bone structure nucleus - brain mitochondria - digestive system
Cells
yes because our cells can not live forever so they die (the top layer of your skin is dead skin cells)

your skin and white cells that kill bacteria
Skin cells on the surface are dead and therefore do not contain any functional organelles. The hypodermal layer (the layer beneath the visible skin) has active cells and contains ribosomes.
Muscle cells contain a lot of mitochondria to supply energy to the cells and they are typically spindle shaped. Skin cells contain few mitochondira and are typically column or cubodial shaped.
The hypodermis contains connective cells or tissues directly under the skin.
How about if we expand it a bit and just compare plant (orange) cells to animal (human) cells? There are many similarities between the two types of cells when we look at the organelles found inside the cells. Both are eukaryotic cells; in other words, both cells contain a nucleus. Other organelles in common between the two cells include the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, peroxisomes, and mitochondria. Both cells also contain a plasma membrane, a cytoskeleton composed of the same types of proteins, and ribosomes.
The part of an animal cell that is similar to human skin would be the animal skin cells. The animal and human skin cells contain the same organelles.
Melanocytes are cells in the skin which contain the pigment melanin.
minerals are "building blocks" our bodies use to rebuild, and repair damages body tissue. Our bodies also use minerals to replicate the billions of cells that make up our bodies tissue to replace the cells as they die thru the process of natural cell death such as skin cells. The skins outer layers are made up of dead cells whic have been replaced and have migrated to the exterior of our skin to produce our skin as a barrier to the environment.
