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 the points of attachment between cells that hold cells together in tissues?
cell junctions
What will happen in certain tissues without tight junctions?
Without tight junctions in certain tissues, there would be a large amount of molecules freely flowing around the epithelial tissue. These junctions keep the cells in there safe from flowing through the epithelium.
Are Gap junctions are found in plant cells?
the plasmodemata connects plant cells, and memebrane nanotubes can connect animal cells
How are cells arranged into tissues?
Cells connect with other cells to make up tissues. Tissues connect and function with other tissues to make up organs. Cells interact with other cells and something called an Extracellular Matrix (ECM). You can think of the ECM is a type of sticky glue that the cells bind to. Cells also bind directly to other cells by way of desmosomes, hemidesmosomes, gap junctions, and tight junctions. Tissues are arranged in many ways depending on the types of cells they contain.
What are the four types of cellular junctions?
plasmodesmata tight junctions desmosomes gap junctions the plasmodesmata is the only cell junction in the plant cells.. and the other three cell junctions are in the animal cells...
What are three types of extracellular junctions?
Within the multicellular organism tissues, a cell junction occurs. Animals have four kinds of intercellular junctions which are gap junction, desmosomes, adherens junction and tight junction,

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 is the junctions between cardiac muscle cells?
Desmosomes and gap junctions But, more specifically...the junctions found in Cardiac muscles are called "Intercalated Discs" singular: INTERCALATED DISC plural: INTERCALATED DISCS
How are the plasmodesmata of plant cells and commicating junctions of animal cell similar in function?
Cell junctions in plants are called Plasmodesmata while communicating junctions in animal cells are gap junctions
Which type of junctions prevent water leakage between cells?
Tight Junctions
What aid in the coordination of the activities of adjacent animal cells?
There are gap junctions which help the cells communicate with one another.

How are the cells of a multicellular like a baseball team?
Certain cells form connections, or cellular junctions, to neighboring cells. These junctions hold cells together firmly.
