Cell junctions are the areas that hold adjacent cells together and enable them to communicate. These junctions can take the form of tight junctions, gap junctions, or desmosomes, each serving different functions in cell communication and tissue structure.
Coordination + integration Neurons and glands
Sensory neurons form the afferent division of the peripheral nervous system. These neurons carry sensory information from the body to the central nervous system.
Tight junctions are cell junctions that link animal cells tightly together to form a leakproof sheet. These junctions act as barriers that prevent the passage of molecules between cells, ensuring that substances cannot easily pass between them. Tight junctions are crucial for maintaining the integrity and function of tissues in multicellular organisms.
neurons
They are called splanchnic nerves. These nerves carry preganglionic fibers to the collateral ganglia where they synapse with postganglionic neurons.
Specialized junctions between neurons are called synapses. Synapses allow neurons to communicate with each other by transmitting signals in the form of neurotransmitters. There are two main types of synapses: electrical synapses, where ions flow directly between neurons, and chemical synapses, where neurotransmitters are released to relay the signal.
Preganglionic parasympathetic fibers. In the Parasympathetic division, the preganglionic axons leave the ventral roots of the spinal cord and collectively form the pelvic splanchnic nerves.
the brain
The neurons form the bodies nervous system.
Certain cells form connections, or cellular junctions, to neighboring cells. These junctions hold cells together firmly.

Chemical synapses are specialized junctions through which neurons signal to each other and to non-neuronal cells such as those in muscles or glands. Chemical synapses allow neurons to form circuits within the central nervous system. They are crucial to the biological computations that underlie perception and thought. They allow the nervous system to connect to and control other systems of the body. -Wiki
