(A) The basement membrane is a thin,fibrous,extracellular matrix of tissue that separates the lining of an epithelium from underlying connective tissue.In $Transitional$ $epithelium$ (also known as urothelium),the cells are capable of stretching and changing shape,and a distinct basement membrane is often considered absent or poorly developed compared to other epithelial tissues,as these cells are specialized for distension in organs like the urinary bladder.In contrast,squamous,columnar,and cuboidal epithelia are typically anchored to a well-defined basement membrane.
