Why does it makes sense that melanocytes are Because melanocyte cells are too big to be located deeper in the body. Because the outer layer of skin is where all actively functioning skin cells are located. Because the melanocyte function is dependent on other cells found in the outer skin layer. Because all skin cells originate in the outer layer. Because melanocyte activity can be altered in response to the presence of sunlight. 00000
