| What is the primary function of Langerhans cells? |
|
Definition
| These are the antigen presenting cells within the epidermis |
|
|
Term
| What is the primary function of Merkel's cells? |
|
Definition
| These cells provide the cutaneous sensation within the epidemis. |
|
|
Term
| Why is the granulosa layer only present within the keratinized skin? |
|
Definition
| The granulosa layer is where the nucleus is degraded and secreted from the cell - the granulosa layer is so named because this is where the nucleus degredation gives the cells a granular appearance. |

Term
| What is the primary function of melanocytes? |
|
Definition
| Melanocytes produce and secrete melanin which protects the skin fron nonionizing ultraviolet irradiation. |
|
|
Term
| What function do myoepithelial cells play in eccrine sweat glands? |
|
Definition
| Myoepithelial cells lie between the secretory cells on the basal aspect of the secretory segment of an eccrine sweat gland. These cells contract to provide rapid expression of sweat from the gland. |

Term
| What is the primary function of a meissner's corpuscle? |
|
Definition
| Locallized within dermal papillae, the meissner's corpuscle contains touch receptors to low frequency stimuli in non-haired skin. |
|
|
Term
| What is the primary function of pacinian corpuscles? |
