a gap junction
Within the multicellular organism tissues, a cell junction occurs. Animals have four kinds of intercellular junctions which are gap junction, desmosomes, adherens junction and tight junction,
A gap junction is a '' tunnel '' between cells in which messages and nutrients can be passed back and forth. A tight junction is the connection between two cells that is strongly '' sown '' with protein threads to help maintain tissue conformation.
