7manufacture and store melanin within intracellular vesicles. these vesicles are transferred to the epithelial cells of the stratum germinativum, coloring the entire epidermis.1 set
8mostly in the basale layer, they produce melanin in response to uv light1 set
9cells 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
