| Abstract: | Pigmentation according to the Oxford dictionary is the presence of a substance giving colour to animal tissue. In one sense the only human beings who are free from pigment are the ALBINOS, so that every human being should have a certain minimum of pigmentation in his body. This is found where melanin formation is active i.e. in the epidermis (not dermis), the uveal tract, meninges and arachnoid and in the intestinal endothelium. |
