GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Melanin is a substance in your body that produces hair, eye and skin pigmentation. The more melanin you produce, the darker your eyes, hair and skin will be. The amount of melanin in your body depends on a few different factors, including genetics and how much sun exposure your ancestral population had.

Detailed explanation-2: -Melanin is a natural skin pigment. Hair, skin, and eye color in people and animals mostly depends on the type and amount of melanin they have. Special skin cells called melanocytes make melanin. Everyone has the same number of melanocytes, but some people make more melanin than others.

Detailed explanation-3: -In human beings, melanocytes, cells in the innermost layer of skin (the basal layer) and hair follicles, make melanin. This pigment gives color to your skin, hair, nose, inner ear, and choroid in the eyes (the area between the retina and the white sclera) (Schlessinger, 2021).
