Basement membrane is made up of

A

only epidermal cells

B

only endodermal cells

C

Both (a) and (b)

D

no cell at all , but is a product of epithelial cells

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
d
The cells of epithelial tissues rest upon a thin layer composed of protein bound mucopoly- saccharictes and glycoproteins, both secreted by P.pithelial cells (hence, product of epithelial cell) along with a layer of collagen fibres of the underlying connective tissue.
