The lamina densa is a component of the
basement membrane zone between the
epidermis and dermis of the skin, and is an electron-dense zone between the
lamina lucida and dermis, synthesized by the basal cells of the epidermis, and composed of (1) type IV collagen, (2) anchoring fibrils made of type VII collagen, and (3) dermal microfibrils.
