The epidermis contains what?
The epidermis contains skin cells.
What is the function of dividing cells found at the base of epidermis?
The stratum basale (the bottom layer of cells in the epidermis) functions to provide a constant source of new cells to form the skin. This counterbalances the number of cells lost at the surface.
Where do New cells of the epidermis originate?
They originate in the deepest layer of epidermis, called stratum basale. The columnar cells of this deep layer are constantly dividing to produce new cells that move outward to undergo metamorphosis at different levels.
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.

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.
