Stratumbasale - ANSWER the only layer where cells divide and reciprocate
Melanin - ANSWER gives the hair and skin color and provides protection
from the harmful effects
How many melanocytes does everyone have - ANSWER roughly the same
number of melanocytes your genetics is the primary determination fo how

as dark splotches.
hypopigmentation - ANSWER areas of skin lacking color because of deficient
amounts of melanin
May also play a role in scar formation injuries or trauma that penetrate past the
epidermal - dermal junction into into the dermis interfere in the skins ability to
regenerate normally and are more likely to scar - ANSWER
