tight junction
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,
A gap junction is a '' tunnel '' between cells in which messages and nutrients can be passed back and forth. A tight junction is the connection between two cells that is strongly '' sown '' with protein threads to help maintain tissue conformation.

Tight junction - impermeable junction that encircles the cell Desmosome - anchoring junction scattered along the sides of cells Gap junction - a nexus that allows chemical substances to pass between cells
Tight junctions can be said as one type of gap junction which exists between cells for cell-to-cell interaction so that all the cells of an organism coordinate and function.
