Reissner Membrane

Introduction

Reissner's membrane is an important structural component of the basement membrane, an important component that performs many functions in the body such as support, protection and trophic regulation. This material was named after its discoverer, German histologist Rudolph Reissner. In this article we will take a closer look at Reissner's membrane, its role in the basement membrane layer, as well as some biological effects and significance in the human body.

Did you know...? The very first object known as a membrane was discovered by researchers in 1522 when they accidentally discovered a thin layer of water separating two sheets of paper folded together. Since then, many new objects have been discovered, including the tissue of basement membranes, Bowman's membrane (also called the diaphragm Branchey), Mueller membrane and many others. Today we know that all these objects are thin structural membranes located inside our body

Literature review

Reisner's membrane (RM) was first described by Rudolf Reisner in 1868. He noticed that when the basement membrane was crushed, the cells in the lower layers of the epidermis (stratum basale) showed more permeability to electrolytes than the basement membrane in the upper layers. To explain this, he proposed that the structure of the basement membrane changes when the membrane of proliferative cells is exposed to pressure or torment and becomes less rigid.

PM consists of two main components: gel-like,
