Specilized cells in the epidermis called melanocytes produce melanin, a dark pigment that provides skin color. Melanin absorbs ultraviolet radiation in sunlight and preventing mutations in the DNA of skin cells and other damaging effects.ifferences in skin color result from differences in the amount of melanin that melanocytes produce and the distribution and size of pigment granules. Skin color is genetically determined.
The epidermis is the outer layer of skin, which is composed of several layers of cells. It provides a barrier of protection from foreign substances. The epidermis is thickest in large animals like horses.It includes multiple types of cells, including keratinocytes, melanocytes, Langerhans cells, and Merkel cells.Each of these cells has special functions. Keratinocytes provide a protective layer that is constantly being renewed in a process called keratinization.In this process, new skin cells are created near the base of the epidermis and migrate upwards.ach of these cells has special functions.
