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.
