cells of the epidermis the majority of epidermal cells are keratinocytes that produce keratin. melanocytes are epithelial cells that synthesize the pigment melanin
layers of the epidermis the stratum basale (basal layer) is the deepest epidemal layer and is the site of mitosis the stratum corneum(horny layer) is the outermost protective layer of the epidermis composed of a thick layer of dead keratinocytes
dermis is composed of strong, flexible, connective tissue the dermis is made up of two layers: the thin, superficial papillary layer is highly vascularized areolar connective tissue containing a woven mat of collagen and elastin fibers; and the reticular layer, accounting for 80% of the thickness of the

hair pigments(melanin of different colors)are made by melanocytes at the base of the hair follicle.
hair follicles fold down from the epidermis into the dermis and occasionallly into the hypodermis the deep end of a hair follicle is expanded, forming a hair bulb
