Facilitated transport vs active - answer -active requires energy and can move solutes
against the gradient

What do dendritic cells do (integument system) - answer -found in bone marrow and
migrate to epidermis
Ingest foreign substances and are key activators of the immune system

Granulosum- keratinization
(lucidum in thick skin)

substance

against the external face of the existing tissue

Secreting new matrix from within
