Melanocytes and keratinocytes work together in protecting the skin from UV damage when keratinocytes .
A)maintain the appropriate temperature so the product of the melanocyte will not denature
B)provide the melanocyte with a protective shield against abrasion
C)accumulate the melanin granules on their superficial portion,forming a UV- blocking pigment layer
D)maintain the appropriate pH in order for the melanocyte to synthesize melanin granules

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Keratinocytes accumulate the melanin granules on their superficial portion, forming a UV-blocking pigment layer which protects the skin from UV-induced damage. The other options are incorrect because maintaining temperature, providing a shield against abrasion, and maintaining pH do not directly contribute to protecting the skin from UV damage.
