  1. Structure
    1. Long dendritic projections
      1. Small Nuclei
        1. Little cytoplasm
        2. Function
          1. Produces Melanosomes
            1. Move to keratinocytes
              1. Through dendritic projections
                1. Skin colour is due to ratio
                  1. Of black eumelanin
                    1. Red phaemalanin
                  2. Once in cells
                    1. Form a 'cap' over nucleus
                      1. When exposed to UV

                          1. Which increases melanosome production
