Plasmodesmata are the channels that traverse plant cell walls, which enables molecular exchange between the cells. They are analogous to gap junctions in animal cells. There are two forms of plasmodesmata: primary ones are formed during cell division and secondary ones can form between mature cells.Plasmodesmata provide a simple route for the movement of ions and macromolecules. Larger molecules use actin filaments to traverse the cells.

What Cellular junctions that link intermediate filaments between adjacent animal cells are called?
Anchoring junctions link intermediate filaments to adjacent animal cells, attaching the cells but still allowing movement or stretching.
What aid in the coordination of the activities of adjacent animal cells?
There are gap junctions which help the cells communicate with one another.
Protein channels that provide passage for hormones and nutrients between animal cells are termed?
gap junctions
Which type of junctions prevent water leakage between cells?
Tight Junctions
What type of junctions will create a solid barrier to prevent molecules from moving between the cells?
tight junctions
The electrical synapses between adjacent myocardial cells are called?
gap junctions
What structural component of cardiac muscle cell allows for electrical current to flow from cell to cell?
Gap junctions. Gap junctions are connecting channels made of proteins that permit the movement of ions or water between two adjacent cells. They are commonly found in cardiac and smooth muscle cells.Read more: what-are-gap-junctions
What are the four types of cellular junctions?

What attaches cardiac muscle fibers together?
The myocardial cells are connected through tight junctions and gap junctions between the cell membranes of adjacent cells. The myocardium as a whole is covered by the pericardium on the outside and the endocardium on the inside.
What structure connects adjacent cells?
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.
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.
Which type of junctions prevent water leakage between cells?
Tight Junctions
What type of junctions will create a solid barrier to prevent molecules from moving between the cells?
tight junctions
What type of membrane junction allows ions to pass directly from the cytoplasm of one cell to the cytoplasm of the adjacent cell?
gap junctions Answer Through the gaps in the contiguous cell walls that join the two cell's cytoplasm. The gaps are called plasmodesmata (singular plasmodesma).
