What are the membrane connections that prevent the leaking of fluid between cells?
tight junctions
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 intercellular junction in which cells are bound together by fusion of the outer cell membrane is called what?
In vertebrates, there are three major types of cell junction:1. Adherens junctions, desmosomes and hemidesmosomes (anchoring junctions.)2. Gap junctions (communicating junction)3. Tight junctions (occluding junctions)Your question most likely is for the tight junction but more information in the question would be helpful.
Which type of membrane junction is an example of a tight junction?
Junctions among epithelial cells lining the digestive tract.
The sites where a chemical substance is transmitted from the presynaptic terminal of an axon to the postsynaptic membrane of a muscle fiber are called?
neuromuscular junctions
How are cells held together?
Cells are held together by Gap Junctions, Desmosomes, and Tight junctions
What binds animal cells together?
Animal cells are mostly bound together by what are known as intercellular junctions. There are three types of cell junctions: anchoring junctions, tight junctions and gap junctions. Of these, anchoring junctions, which include adherens junction, desmosomes and hemidesmosomes, help bind the animal cells together, in an extracellular matrix.
Membrane junctions that allow nutrients or ions to flow from cell to cell are?
Desmosomes
What are the membrane connections that prevent the leaking of fluid between cells?
tight junctions

What connects to other cells?
A number of connections occur between cells: gap junctions, desomosomes and tight junctions. The connections of gap junctions are called channels and they act like tunnels. Desomosones physically connect cells but no opening is created. They are composed of proteins that bind the membrane of one cell to its neighbor. Tight junctions form solid walls.
What are two factors in addition to special membrane junctions that help hold cells together?
Glycoproteins in the glycocalyx and wavy contours.
The sites where a chemical substance is transmitted from the presynaptic terminal of an axon to the postsynaptic membrane of a muscle fiber are called?
neuromuscular junctions
What type of membrane junction allows ions to pass directly from cell to cell?
Gap junctions
