Main Membrane

The main membrane (membrana basalis) is a thin membrane that is one of the components of the basement membrane. It is located between the epithelial layer and connective tissue and plays an important role in maintaining the structure of tissues and organs.

The main membrane consists of a network of collagen and elastic fibers that form a dense network. It separates the epithelial layer and connective tissue, holding cells in place and preventing them from moving. In addition, the main membrane provides support to capillaries and other small vessels, maintaining their shape and structure.

The main membrane is important for the normal functioning of many organs, such as the kidneys, lungs, liver and others. For example, in the kidneys, the main membrane helps filter blood by keeping cells and proteins in the capillaries and preventing them from entering the urinary tract.

In addition, the main membrane is involved in the process of tissue regeneration. When tissue is damaged, it plays an important role in scar formation and restoration of tissue structure.

In conclusion, the basal membrane is an important component of the basement membrane and plays an important role in maintaining the structure of tissues and organs. Its functions include holding cells in place, supporting capillaries and other small vessels, and participating in the process of tissue regeneration. It is important for the normal functioning of many organs of humans and animals.
