MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Melanin synthesized within melanosomes is transported via dendrites to adjacent keratinocytes, and accumulate within keratinocytes and melanocytes in the perinuclear area as supranuclear “caps” that are thought to shield DNA from UV rays (58).

Detailed explanation-2: -All melanins are produced by melanocytes, which are a rare cell type in our outermost layer of skin, called the epidermis. Specifically, melanocytes are located at the bottom of the epidermis and they generate melanin inside membrane-bound structures called melanosomes.
