The epidermis contains phagocytic cells called DENDRITIC CELLS. The slender, fingerlike processes of dendritic cells extend among the surrounding cells, forming an almost continuous network to intercept invaders.

Where do New cells of the epidermis originate?

They originate in the deepest layer of epidermis, called stratum basale. The columnar cells of this deep layer are constantly dividing to produce new cells that move outward to undergo metamorphosis at different levels.


The cells that make up the epidermis are both living and?

The cells that make up the epidermis are both living and dead. The top layer of the epidermis, known as the stratum corneum, is made up of dead cells called corneocytes. However, the lower layers of the epidermis contain living cells that are actively dividing and producing new skin cells.
