Detailed explanation-1: -The epidermal cells are:-1-the keratinocytes: compose most of the epidermis. They produce a protein: the keratin that helps waterproof the skin and that protects the skin and the underlying tissues from heat, microbes, abrasion and chemicals.
Detailed explanation-2: -The keratinocytes in the stratum spinosum begin the synthesis of keratin and release a water-repelling glycolipid that helps prevent water loss from the body, making the skin relatively waterproof.
Detailed explanation-3: -Keratinocytes (ker-uh-TIH-no-sites) make keratin, a type of protein that’s a basic component of hair, skin, and nails. Keratin in the skin’s outer layer helps create a protective barrier. Langerhans (LAHNG-ur-hanz) cells help protect the body against infection.
