The dermo-epidermal membrane was demonstrated to have fibrous elements, a few scattered cellular elements, and amorphous elements. The fiber elements were reticular fibers (the principal fiber) and elastin. A few scattered fibroblasts were demonstrated close to the area of the corium minor. The amorphous material is suggested to be mucoprotein and/or glycoprotein.
