The pigment cells present in human skin are called melanocytes. These cells produce melanin, the pigment responsible for the color of skin, hair, and eyes. Melanocytes are primarily located in the epidermis, specifically in the basal layer, and play a crucial role in protecting the skin from UV radiation by absorbing harmful rays. Variations in melanin production can lead to differences in skin tone and susceptibility to sun damage.
