What types of cell junctions connect cells within tissues?

The apical surface does not have any cell junctions because it is a free surface exposed to things that are not epithelial cells. The lateral surfaces of an epithelial cell, which face the adjacent cells on either side contain tight junctions, adherens junctions, desmosomes and/or gap junctions. The basal surface of an epithelial cell adhere to extracellular materials like the basement membrane. Hemidesmosomes anchor the epithelium to the basement membrane in the basal surface.


What are desosomes?

Desmosomes are cell structures that anchor neighboring cells together.Channels that allow water and other molecules to flow between neighboring cells are not desmosomes, but gap/communicating junctions.
