The basement membrane is a thin, fibrous, extracellular matrix that separates the lining of an internal or external body surface from underlying connective tissue in metazoans (animals).[1] This surface may be epithelium (skin, respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, etc.), mesothelium (pleural cavity, peritoneal cavity, pericardial cavity, etc.) and endothelium (blood vessels, lymph vessels, etc.)
