NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -Melanocytes are in the layer of basal cells at the deepest part of the epidermis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Melanocytes are found in the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells produce a pigment called melanin, which is responsible for different skin colour. Melanin is packaged into small parcels (or melanosomes), which are then transferred to keratinocytes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Melanin is predominantly restricted to the basal layer (or Stratum basale) of the human epidermis, where it is found in both melanocytes (MCs), the cells that make melanin, and in nearby keratinocytes (KCs), the cells of the epidermis that accept melanin.
