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.

∙ 13y agoNo, it's a cell of the immune system. They are a subset of dendritic cells found in the epidermis, that capture antigens (with the long arms that make them look like nerves) and take them to lymph nodes to present to T cells.
Paul Langerhans (who discovered them) in 1968 actually thought they were nerve cells!

What does the nerve cell include?
The nerve cell can be thought of as just the nerve body, which is the main part of the nerve cell. The nerve cell is also known as a neuron. The entire neuron includes an axon, nerve body, dendrites, and axon terminals.
What is the difference between the red blood cell and the nerve cell?
the nerve cell is the white cell and it is white but it doesnt care as much blood as the red blood cell does that's the difference. Also, the nerve cell is the white cell and it is white but the red blood carries blood. Wait, I think the nerve cell is the white cell is white. White Cell=Nerve Cell*white. Cell=Nerve/White =;)
