Connected together by tightly wove tight junctions. looser connections called desmosomes and connection " tunnels " between cells, for selected passage of some substances, and called gap junctions.

An adjacent group of cells are known as a range or a block. There is no particular name for a group of non-adjacent cells.
Adjacent cells are cells that are together, and do not have other cells between each other. A cell beside another one are together called adjacent cells, as are cells that are above or below each other and touching. So A1 and A2 are adjacent cells, as are B1 and C1. A1 and C1 are not adjacent cells as B1 is between them. A1, B1 and C1 would be adjacent cells.
A junction that is a protein channel linking the cytoplasms of adjacent cells is called a gap junction. This structure allows for direct communication and sharing of ions and small molecules between neighboring cells.
The structure that supports and connects cells of the nervous system is called glial cells, or neuroglia. These cells provide structural support, protection, and nourishment to neurons, facilitating communication and maintaining homeostasis within the nervous system. Glial cells include astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, and Schwann cells, each playing specific roles in maintaining the health and function of neural tissues.
Non-adjacent cells are cells that do not touch each other. Cell A3 and Cell D9 are non-adjacent. A3 and B3 or A3 and A4 would both be sets of adjacent cells.
A synechia is an adhesion binding the iris to an adjacent structure.
Plasmodesmata are junctions in plant cells that connect the cytoplasm of living cells. They are microscopic channels that pass through the cell walls, allowing for communication and transport of materials between adjacent plant cells.
The structure that connects a muscle to a bone is called a tendon.
The structure that connects bone to muscle is called a tendon.
