melanocytes

Located scattered among the keratinocytes of the stratum basale are pigment ruction cells.

simple, coiled, and tubular

Merocrine sweat glands are classified as ______ glands that release their secretion onto the surface of the skin.

corneum

Nails are derived from the same type of cells that produce the stratum ______ layer of the epidermis.

Sweat and sebaceous glands

On many parts of the body, the components of the dermis include blood vessels------glands, ---------glands, hair follicles, nail roots, sensory nerve endings, and smooth muscle tissue.

tactile cells

Scattered among the cells of the stratum basal are cells that are sensitive to tech. these sensory cells are called:

Epidermis specific layers
