MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Basement membranes are a dense, sheet-like form of extracellular matrix (ECM) that underlie epithelia and endothelia, and surround muscle, fat and Schwann cells. Basement membranes separate tissues and protect them from mechanical stress.

Detailed explanation-2: -Transitional epithelium are a type of compound epithelial cells without a basement membrane.

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

Detailed explanation-4: -Basement membrane is absent in epithelial tissue cells. Epithelial tissue cells have only a small amount of cementing material between them.
