A layer of glycoproteins and a network of fine protein filaments that prevents the movement of proteins and other large molecules from the connective tissue to epithelium describes
A) interfacial canals.
B) the basal lamina.
C) the reticular lamina.
D) areolar tissue.
E) endothelium.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The description matches that of the basal lamina, a layer of glycoproteins and fine protein filaments that separates the connective tissue from the epithelium and serves as a barrier for large molecules. Interfacial canals do not exist, the reticular lamina is part of the basement membrane, areolar tissue is a loose connective tissue, and endothelium denotes the inner lining of blood vessels.
