Detailed explanation-1: -A layer of connective tissue called the lamina propria, attaches to the basal surface of the basement membrane. Lamina propria holds the epithelial tissue glued to the deep tissues and contains blood vessels that supply the epithelial tissue.
Detailed explanation-2: -Epithelial cells form the thin layer of cells known as the endothelium, which is contiguous with the inner tissue lining of organs such as the brain, lungs, skin, and heart. The free surface of epithelial tissue is usually exposed to fluid or the air, while the bottom surface is attached to a basement membrane.
Detailed explanation-3: -The basement membrane (BM) is a special type of extracellular matrix that lines the basal side of epithelial and endothelial tissues.
