What is the function of langerhan's cells?
Langerhans cells are a subset of dendritic cells that reside in the epidermis (Part of the immune system). They have long dendrites (like arms) that capture antigen in the skin, and when they find an antigen, they migrate to lymph nodes and present to T cells allowing the adaptive immune system to respond.
Is skin a part of the immune system?

What parts of your body are involved in your immune system?
Almost everything. Respiratory system (lined with cilia and have macrophages, other immune cells, mucus-producing cells), GI system--the gut, starting from the mouth to the stomach to the bowels (lots of immune cells), lymph nodes (they're everywhere and drain every part of your body), thymus, spleen, bone marrow (produce white blood cells), skin .
What are their functions of the lymphatic system?
The lymphatic system is an important part of the circulatory system. It is responsible for removing cell waste and delivering the antibodies of the immune system, the bodies defense mechanism, to organs.
Does HIV attack epidermal cells?
HIV mainly attacks cells in the immune system. I'm not aware of a major impact on skin (epidermal) cells.
Which is the first part of the immune system to attack an invader?
Lysozymes
