What else can I help you with?
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.
Do tactile cells anchor the skin to the body?
No, tactile cells are responsible for sense of touch, while anchoring of the skin to the body is mainly carried out by connective tissues like collagen and elastin fibers.
What are 5 types of cells in the epidermis?
Squamous cells
What are nerve cells that detect conditions of the body's environment?
Sensory neurons are nerve cells responsible for detecting the conditions of the body's environment, such as temperature, touch, and pain. They transmit this information to the brain for processing and response.
Group of similar cells that perform a similar function?
tissues are group of cell that perform a specific similar function.
What are the touch sensors of the epidermis?
tactile cells
What is the function of tactile?
Functions as a sensory receptor for touch.
What is the function of antennules in crayfish?
Antennules are for smell. Antenna are tactile.

What is the function of tactile discs and Langerhans?
Tactile discs, also known as Merkel cells, are specialized mechanoreceptors in the skin that detect light touch and texture, playing a crucial role in the sense of touch. They are located in the epidermis and are closely associated with nerve endings. Langerhans cells, on the other hand, are a type of dendritic cell found in the skin that function primarily in the immune response by capturing and presenting antigens to T cells, thereby helping to protect the body against pathogens. Together, these cells contribute to both sensory perception and immune defense in the skin.
Cells that detect conditions in the body environment are?
They are called "sense cells" and communicate information mainly to the brain, but sometimes to the autonomic nervous system. They include cells for seeing (optic), hearing (auditory), taste (gustatory), small (olfactory), and touch (tactile) - tactile cells detect heat, pressure, and injury (pain).
A receptor that contains many mechanically gated ion channels would function best as?
tactile receptor
What does ''specialization of cell '' mean?
when cells are designed to do a specific function
Which receptors are modified free-nerve endings found in the deeper levels of the epidermis?
Modified free-nerve endings in the deeper levels of the epidermis are found associated with tactile (Merkel) cells. These receptors are sensitive to light touch and pressure stimuli, providing information about tactile sensations to the brain.
