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.
Plasma membrane proteins attach in zipper-like fastenings; they hold cells together so tightly that the tissures are barriers
vital functions. They hold cells together

Adherens juctions. Which can also be found in skin and heart muscles
Desmosomes - anchoring junctions that hold adjacent cells together

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
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,
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...

Bill Fromm is a known author of books on customer service and business leadership, particularly in the retail industry. His works often focus on providing strategies and insights for improving customer experience and enhancing employee engagement.
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.
