Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Langerhans cells are located in the stratum spinosum of the epidermis and play a role in antigen presentation to T cells, making them an important part of the immune response. They do not have granules in their cytoplasm, nor are they mechanoreceptor cells. They are not found within a cornified cell envelope, which is a structure formed by keratinocytes during the process of cornification.
