The basement membrane, also known as basal lamina, is a thin, dense layer of extracellular matrix that lines most human tissues. This review discusses basement membrane macromolecular structure with a view to illuminate how this structure confers basement membranes with unique mechanical properties adapted to resisting. Basement membranes are widely distributed extracellular matrices that coat the basal aspect of epithelial and endothelial cells and surround muscle, fat, and schwann cells.

The basement membrane acts as a mechanical barrier, preventing malignant cells from invading the deeper tissues.
Explore the structure and function of the basement membrane in human anatomy and its significance in various physiological processes.
