1) [Tissue/Gross anatomy] Normal moles form from overactive melanocytes in the stratum basale - these cells undergo mito

2) [Molecular/Cellular/Tissue] Moles appear dark because melanocytes produce melanin (a protein). -You need to show a single melanocyte and how it produces melanin
3) [Molecular/Cellular/Tissue] Melanin is released via exocytosis from the melanocyte and taken in via endocytosis by neighboring cells. -You need to show a melanocyte releasing melanin, then a keratinocyte taking in the melanin
4) [Cellular/Tissue] Melanoma occurs when the melanocytes of irregular moles undergo mitosis and spread deeper, traveling into blood vessels found in the dermis to other regions. -You show blood vessels, which is great you should show cells breaking off from the melanoma that travel in the blood vessels
