It consists of nonpigmented, stratified squamous nonkeratinizing epithelial cells, attached to a thick basement membrane that is considered to be analogous to the Bowman's membrane in mammals FMA:58273 MA:0001240 Reichert's membrane TAO:0002155 UBERON:0004370 UMLS:C0229127 ZFA:0001684 anterior elastic lamina anterior limiting lamina anterior limiting lamina of cornea anterior limiting membrane lamina limitans anterior (cornea) lamina limitans anterior corneae uberon basement membrane of epithelium neural crest-derived structure
