Where would you find melanocytes and tactile cells?
Stratum Basale or Germinativum Some 10-25% of the cells in the stratum Basale are melanocytes, and their branching processes extend among the surrounding cells, reaching well into the more superficial Stratum Spinosum layer. Occasional Merkel cells are also seen in this stratum.
What are 5 types of cells in the epidermis?
Squamous cells
What are nerve cells that detect conditions of the body's environment?
