The Type of Cells That Form the Strata in the Epidermis

Question

The type of cells that form the strata in the epidermis are
A) adipocytes.
B) keratinocytes.
C) fibroblasts.
D) melanocytes.
E) dendritic cells.

Accepted Answer

The strata in the epidermis are composed of layers of keratinocytes, which are the most abundant type of cell in the epidermis. Adipocytes are fat cells and are not found in the epidermis. Fibroblasts are found in the dermis, not the epidermis. Melanocytes and dendritic cells are also present in the epidermis, but they do not form the layers of strata.
