Gourt Home::Gourt :: Descemet's membrane
Descemet's membrane is the basement membrane that lies between the corneal proper substance, also called stroma, and the endothelial layer of the cornea. The endothelial layer is located at the posterior of the cornea. Descemet's membrane, as the basement membrane for the endothelial layer, is the source for the single layer of cuboidal epithelial cells that compose the endothelial layer of the cornea.
It is also known as the Posterior limiting lamina, posterior elastic lamina, lamina elastica posterior, and membrane of Demours.
