The cells that make up the epidermis are both living and?
dead cells
Where leaf pore guard cells found?
They are cells in the leaf epidermis, located arond the stomata. A pair of guard cells open and close each stoma (pore) for gas exchange and transpiration. They are different in shape from the rest of the epidermis cells, and unlike other epidermis cells they also contain chloroplasts.
What body part is Pigment cells located?
Pigment cells (melanocytes) are found in the basal layer of the epidermis.
How do skin cells reproduce?
In the living dermis layer of the skin, by normal cell division like other cells. In the dead epidermis surface layer of the skin, they don't as the cells are already dead (they killed themselves before becoming part of the epidermis).
On which layer of epidermis are guard cells found?
epidermis.
The cells that make up the epidermis are both living and?
dead cells
Where are mesophyll cells located?
Below the upper epidermis and above the lower epidermis.
Where are the living cells located in the epidermis'?
The living cells in the epidermis are located beneath the dead cells. Hope this helps!Yes but your skin shreds everyday so you may have layers of dead skin forming on the surface of your skin. We shred quite a lot of skin cells everyday but if you're talking about actual layers of skin in which blood runs through then yes, those cells are indeed alive . :)
Are the outermost cells of the epidermis living or dead?
Cells in the lower layers of the epidermis divide continually, producing new cells that constantly push through the layers of the epidermis. By the time those cells reach the outer layer of the epidermis, they are dead and ready to slough off.
Is the epidermis made up of living and dead skin cells?
Yes, it is made up of living and dead cells.
What layer of the skin is living?
The dermis is the layer of skin that contains only living cells. The epidermis contains both living and dead cells.
What is the most superficial layer of the epidermis to contain living cells?
Tunica
Is a skin cell living?
Partially. The dermis and lower part of the epidermis are alive, but the outer layers of the epidermis consist of dead cells.
Where are pigment cells located in the body?
Pigment cells (melanocytes) are found in the basal layer of the epidermis.
Are melanocytes located in the dermis?
Epidermis is the top layer of skin and the one you can actually see. The dermis is the layer that lies underneath the epidermis, and it is composed entirely of living cells. The most important function of dermis is respiration. The various glands such as the oil and sweat glands originate in the lower dermis. From here, they rise to the surface of the skin to eliminate waste matter.
Where is melanin located in the skin?
Melanocytes are pigment cells that synthesize melanin. These cells inject the melanin pigment in the living keratinocytes cells (skin cells) of the stratum basale layer of the epidermis. Note: The Melanocyte cells also reside in the stratum basale.
Where leaf pore guard cells found?
They are cells in the leaf epidermis, located arond the stomata. A pair of guard cells open and close each stoma (pore) for gas exchange and transpiration. They are different in shape from the rest of the epidermis cells, and unlike other epidermis cells they also contain chloroplasts.
