Question

button-like point of strong adherens junctions adhesion between two cells desmosome an adhesive junction that connects an epithelial cell to the basal lamina cell junctions junction connecting connexons tonofilaments to collagen filaments n plaque: create a permeability barrier between epithelial cells U tonofilaments dense cluster of intracellular linker proteins connected to hemidesmosome cytoskeletal filaments adhesive junction anchors cytoskeleton of one cell with that of a neighboring tight junctions Cell type of adherens junction connexi connecting actin filaments to the extracellular matrix gap junction. intermediate filaments focal adhesion associated with plaques

Explanation / Answer

Desmosomes--Cell-to-cell junction. Button-like points of strong adhesion between adjacent cells in tissues. Provide structural integrity, resist stress and allow connected cells to function as a unit.

Hemidesmosome--an adhesive junction that tightly connects a cell to the Epethelial cells of the basal lamina.

tight junction--create permeability barrier between epithelial cells.

Adhesive junctions- Anchor a cell's cytoskeleton to another cell's cytoskeleton.
