Best Answer

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.

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.


Intercellular connections that lock cells together are called?

Intercellular connections that lock cells togther are desmosomes. Desmosomes appear as thickened patches in the cell membrane region between two cells. They contain specialized proteins that increase the rigidity of tissues.

Is The cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer.?

It is often called the cell membrane because it is made up of phospholipid bilayers. It is also often called the plasma membrane. Each phospholipid joins together at the hydrophilic head, leaving the hydrophobic tail on the inside, and forming a bilayer.


Fluid mosaic model of a cell membrane?

Its called "the fluid mosaic model" of the cell membrane. This describes the clumping together of phospholipids to form rafts and their motion (along with single phospholipids) throughout the membrane.
