Basement membrane

A thin extracellular layer upon which an epithelial rests is called a basement membrane.

Basement membrane is a specialised form of extracellular matrix on which a layer of epithelial cells rests . The basement membrane is made up of a mixture of collagens, and glycoproteins such as perlecan, heparan sulphate and entactin. The basement membrane supports the overlying epithelium by preventing any association between the epithelial cells and the other cells present within the tissue. The basement membrane also functions as a molecular filter as it permit only water and tiny molecules to move through.

Unlike nonsteroid hormones, steroid hormones
o-na [289]

Answer: The correct answer is that steroidal hormones enter the nucleus and change gene expression in a target cell.

Steroidal hormones are hydrophobic in nature due to which they easily cross plasma membrane (lipid bilayer).

Their receptors are generally present inside the cell either in cytoplasm or on nuclear membrane.

They usually produce their effect by changing the gene expression of the cell.

Example of steroidal hormone may include estrogen, testosterone, et cetera.
