Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dendritic cells, also known as Langerhans cells, are part of the immune system and are found in the epidermis. They are responsible for capturing and presenting antigens to T cells in order to initiate an immune response. Melanocytes produce melanin, keratinocytes produce keratin, and tactile epithelial cells are involved in touch sensation, but none of these cells are involved in the immune system.
