<1% of cells that make up epidermis, Patrolling through epidermis, part of immune function
What is Intraepidermal Macrophage?
Dead, 8-10 layers, some mitosis, keratin
What is Stratum Spinosum?
How many melanin's and which are present cause white light to reflect back the color wave length
What makes eyes appear different colors?
Epidermis, dermis completely destroyed, deeper tissue may be involved
What is third degree burns?
no odor, all over body

Dead, 3-5 dead transparent layers, flat
What is Stratum Lucidum?
We inherit them
