What are Langerhans cells responsible for?

  1. Producing pigment

  2. Creating lipids and proteins

  3. Providing immune support

  4. Sensing touch

The correct answer is: Providing immune support

Langerhans cells are a type of dendritic cell found in the skin. These cells play a crucial role in the immune system by helping to identify and destroy foreign invaders such as bacteria and viruses. Langerhans cells are responsible for providing immune support by capturing antigens and presenting them to other immune cells, thus initiating an immune response. This process helps to protect the skin from potential infections or diseases.
