The basal membrane is a specific type of basement membrane found in epithelial tissues. The basement membrane is a thin, sheet-like structure that provides support and separates different tissue layers. The basal membrane is a specialized part of the basement membrane that is located adjacent to the basal surface of epithelial cells.
The basement membrane is a structure that anchors epithelium to connective tissue. It is a thin, sheet-like structure that provides support and helps regulate the movement of molecules between the two tissues.

The basal lamina is a thin layer of extracellular matrix secreted by epithelial cells, while the basement membrane is a thicker structure that includes the basal lamina along with additional layers produced by connective tissue cells. The basal lamina provides structural support and acts as a barrier, while the basement membrane also serves as a filter and plays a role in cell signaling and tissue organization.
Membrane proteins are found embedded within the lipid bilayer of cell membranes in biological systems.
Cells are surrounded by a barrier called a cell membrane and at some point in their lives they contain the molecule that carries biological information (DNA). The structures that all cells have are ribosomes, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and genetic material.

No, not all cells in transitional epithelium touch the basement membrane. This type of epithelium is designed to stretch and change shape, so the cells may not always be in direct contact with the basement membrane.

The stratum basale, the deepest layer of the epidermis, is anchored to the basement membrane primarily by hemidesmosomes. These structures are specialized adhesion complexes that connect the keratinocytes of the stratum basale to the extracellular matrix components of the basement membrane, such as laminin and type IV collagen. This connection is crucial for maintaining the integrity and stability of the epidermis. Additionally, integrins in the hemidesmosomes play a key role in this anchoring process.
Yes. The arteriole has different layers of tissue from inside to out: endothelial layer, basement membrane, smooth muscle and then the extra cellular matrix. The basement membrane is composed of collagen and fibrillin.
The respiratory membrane is formed by a combination of the walls of alveoli and walls of capillaries. It consists of type 1 alveolar cells, a basement membrane, capillary endothelium, alveolar epithelium and macrophages.

A single layer of cells covering the basement membrane is called the simple epithelium.
The filtration membrane in the nephron is formed by the fenestrated endothelium of the glomerular capillaries, the glomerular basement membrane, and the podocytes of the Bowman's capsule that wrap around the capillaries. These structures work together to selectively filter and prevent the passage of larger molecules like proteins into the urine while allowing smaller molecules to be filtered.
