Merkel cells- cause skin to be water resistant e. all are correctly matched

Explanation / Answer

29)most abundant cells in eidermis area

a) keratinocytes

They are most abundant cells theyare epiderma cells whichproduces keratin.90 percentage ofepidermal layer is formed of this cell.Keratinocytes are found in deepest in the superfciale r of skin.

30) c melanocytes

Itis foundin stratum basal This cells produce melanin pigment.Theyare derivedfro neural crest cells.melanin is packaged into form of small parcels.

31)c sweat glands

Insensible perspiration is also known as sweat .Here the liquid is actively secreated from from sweat glands which evaporated.

32)b melanin

Exposure to ultraviolet light causes the skin to increase production of melanin.It is formed by oxidation of tyrosine followed by polymerization.it is produced by melanocytes.

33)c sebaceous gland

Secreate a substance rich in fatty acid s into hair follicles.It is an exocrine gland .They lubricate the skin by secreating sebum.They are secreated into ducts .

34)b melanocytes

They protect the skin from damage.of sunrays by producingmelanin which protect the skin from sunrays.
