The epidermis contains what?
The epidermis contains skin cells.
What layer of the epidermis contains the only cells the are capable of dividing?
stratum germinativum
What type of tissue lines the esophagus and forms the skin epidermis?
Stratified squamous epithelial cells are what form the top two layers of the epidermis: stratum corneum and stratum lucidum. Then stratified cuboidal epithelial cells are found in the bottom three layers of the epidermis: stratum granulosum, stratum spinosum, and stratum basale. (Stratum basale is only layer that contains nothing but mitotic cells. This layer contains melanocytes as well.) The entire epidermis, however is identified as stratified squamous because epithelial tissue is always identified by the type of epithelial tissue at the apical (top) surface.
What is the layer of epidermis that has pigment-producing melanocytes?
Melanocytes are present in basal layer of epidermis .
What are most cells of the epidermis?
The most abundant cells in the epidermis are keratinocytes.
The epidermis contains what?
The epidermis contains skin cells.
What part of the skin is made up of epithelial tissue that contains dead cells?
Epidermis
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.
What are the characteristics of the epidermis include?
Some characteristics of the epidermis include flexibility and several layers. The epidermis also contains desmosomes. The epidermis is the outer layer of cells that cover an organism.
What layer of the skin contains melanin?
what layer of the epidermis contains skin color
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 layer of the epidermis contains the only cells the are capable of dividing?
stratum germinativum
What layer of the skin contains all or mostly dead cells?
The epidermis is made up of dead skin cells. The cells are constantly falling off of the body, but are replaced by new cells that were earlier created in the dermis.
What layer of skin contains Langerhans cells?
Stratum basale, which is the deepest layer of the epidermis.
What is contained in the epidermis?
The epidermis in humans contains cells (melanocytes) that make melanin, which gives skin its colour, Langerhans' cells which are the front line of defense of the immune system in the skin, and normal cells which make up your skin.
