Wherever there are strong mechanical forces affecting the cell

Desmosomes are the hardiest, Found in simple squamous epithelium (capillaries, glomeruli in kidney etc) and stratified squamous epithelium (oral cavity, vagina, rectum etc) holding the cells together.


Desmosomes are also found holding muscle cells to each other


Tight junctions (also called the zonula occluden) seal gaps in cells preventing fluid from leaking from the lumen into the basolaterial surface. The junctions bind to the actin cytoskeleton of the neighbouring cell and allows 'communication' between the cells. They are found wherever fluid needs to be kept in a lumen, such as the blood brain barrier, the nephron of the kidney etc


Adherens junction bind the actin filaments in the cytoskeleton of cells to the filaments of neighbouring cells in order to hold the cells tightly together. These are found in cell-to-cell junctions in epithelial tissues
