Drag each label to the cell type it describes. Produce proteins and lipids associated with
Receptors for touch water-proofing of the skin Phagocytes that Produce proteins ingest
pathogens of that shield nuclei the epidermis from UV light Produced by undifferentiated stem
cells in the Langerhans cells stratum basale The most common Cells associated cell type in the
with nervous epidermis system function These cells have increased Cells of the production rates
of lymphatic system skinned individuals Produce eumelanin Merkel cells and pheomelanin Reset
Keratinocytes Tactile cells Melanocytes Dendritic cells
Solution
Keratinocytes:
Produce proteins and lipids associated with waterproofing of cells, Most common cell type in the
epidermis
Tactile cells:
Receptors for touch, Cells associated with nervous system function, Merkel cells
Melanocytes:
Produce proteins that sheild nuclei from UV light, Produced by undifferentiated stem cells in the
stratum basale, These cells have increased rates of pigment in darker skinned individuals,
Produce eumelanin and pheomelanin
Dendritic cells:
Phagocytes the ingests pathogens of the epidermis, Langerhans cells, Cells of the lymphatic
system.
