GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Basal laminae are flexible, thin (40–120 nm) mats of specialized ECM that separate cells and epithelia from the underlying or surrounding connective tissue. In skin, the basal lamina is tethered to the underlying connective tissue by specialized anchoring fibrils.

Detailed explanation-2: -Epithelial cells are separated from the underlying tissue by a basement membrane. The basement membrane is a thin sheet of collagen and glycoproteins produced in part by the epithelial cells themselves and in part by underlying connective tissue cells (specifically, fibroblasts).

Detailed explanation-3: -The basement membrane sits between epithelial tissues including mesothelium and endothelium, and the underlying connective tissue.
