| # | Definition | Sets | |
| 1 | a cell found in the basal layer that gives color to the skin | 17 sets | |
| 2 | black cell | 13 sets | |
| 3 | cell that produces melanin | 6 sets | |
| 4 | pigment cell | 6 sets | |
| 5 | cell in the basal layer that gives color to the skin | 4 sets | |
| 6 | cell found in basal layer | 1 set | |
| 7 | manufacture and store melanin within intracellular vesicles. these vesicles are transferred to the epithelial cells of the stratum germinativum, coloring the entire epidermis. | 1 set | |
| 8 | mostly in the basale layer, they produce melanin in response to uv light | 1 set | |
| 9 | cells located in the bottom layer of the skin's epidermis. melanocytes produce melanin, which produces pigment. they are also located in the eye, ear, meninges, bone and heart. skin color is not determined by the number of melanocytes, but rather by the activity level of the cells. | 1 set | |
| 10 | adenohypophysis | 1 set | |
| 11 | [n] 黑素細胞 | 1 set | |
| 12 | cell in the human epidermis that produces melanin | 1 set | |
| 13 | cell that produces color | 1 set | |
| 14 | the brown pigment ___ is responsible for most skin color | 1 set | |
| 15 | secretes melanin | 1 set | |
| 16 | cell in epidermis that produces melanin. | 1 set | |
| 17 | black pigment producing skin cell | 1 set | |
| 18 | pigment producing cell | 1 set | |
| 19 | cell that makes melanin | 1 set | |
| 20 | a cell in the epidermis that produces melanin | 1 set | |
| 21 | cells that produce melanin | 1 set | |
| 22 | pigmented cell located between/beneath cells of the deepest layer of epidermis that synthesizes melanin | 1 set | |
| 23 | a melanin producing cell of the stratum basale of the epidermis. | 1 set | |
| 24 | cell in the epidermis that produces melanin | 1 set | |
| 25 | a cell in the basal layer of the epidermis that produces melanin under the control of the melanocyte-stimulating hormone | 1 set | |
| 26 | pigment-containing tissue cells that determine skin color | 1 set | |
| 27 | make pigment called melanin | 1 set | |
| 28 | a cell that is black. | 1 set | |
| 29 | cell responsible for producing and storing the pigments for skin coloration | 1 set | |
| 30 | produced melanin; found only in basal layer of epidermis | 1 set | |
| 31 | helps protect stratum basale from excessive uv light. | 1 set | |

| 33 | cell containing melanin | 1 set | |
| 34 | cell found in the basal layer that gives color to the skin | 1 set | |
| 35 | cell found in basal layer that gives color to the skin | 1 set | |
| 36 | cell found in the basal layer that gives color to skin | 1 set | |
| 37 | cell in the basal layer of the epidermis that produces melanin (a black cell). | 1 set | |
| 38 | produces melanin | 1 set | |
| 39 | a cell in the epidermis that produces melanin (pigment) | 1 set | |
| 40 | in stratum b. of epid., long extensions b/w keratinocytes to transfer melanin to keratinocytes | 1 set | |
