Answer: Cell body, Soma, or Perikaryon.

Explanation:

Neurons can vary in morphology but they keep 4 well-defined regions with distinct functions, they are: the Axon, the Axon terminals, Dendrites, and the cell body. To answer the question we are going to analyze the cell body. Because it contains the nucleus and other organelles, in this region we have the synthesis of practically all neuronal proteins and membranes, which gives it importance. Special transport processes involving microtubules move proteins and membranes from their sites of synthesis in the cell body down the length of the axon to the terminals.

_________ cells produce granules that secrete a lipid-rich product that help make the skin waterproof

Anestetic [448]

Answer:

keratinocytes

Explanation:

The skin contains various types of cells like melanocytes, keratinocytes and Langerhans cells. The Keratinocytes constitute about 90% of the human skin and are mostly present in the basal skin.

The keratinocytes produce keratin protein which protects the skin and some keratinocytes contain keratohyalin granules which are filled with cysteine-rich and histidine-rich proteins. The keratin and these granules make the skin waterproof.

Thus, keratinocytes are the correct answer.
