What aid in the coordination of the activities of adjacent animal cells?
There are gap junctions which help the cells communicate with one another.
Which cell junction is not illustrated and what is its function?
Desmosomes - anchoring junctions that hold adjacent cells together
The cell junctions in plant cells that provide channels between adjacent cells are generally?
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 are attachment proteins?
Attachment proteins anchor the cell membrane in various ways. Some attachment proteins bind the plasma membrane to the network of protein filaments within the cytoplasm called the cytoskeleton. The attachments between plasma membrane proteins and the underlying protein filaments produce the characteristic shapes of animal cells, from the dimpled discs of red blood cells to the elaborate branching of nerve cells. other membrane attachment proteins bind the cell to a matrix of other protein fibers that exist outside the cell. Still other attachment proteins form junctions between adjacent cells. .13 is a wonderful thing. lolz.
Ions can travel directly from the cytoplasm of one animal cell tot he cytoplasm of an adjacent cell through?
Ions cannot directly cross the phospholipid bilayer which makes up the main part of a cell membrane. They cross the membrane through protein channels, pores or pumps. There are many different protein channels. Some only allow one type of ion to move through, like a sodium channel, and others exchange ions (move ions in and out at the same time, like a potassium/hydrogen ion pump).
What is the name of the areas that hold adjacent cells together and enable them to communicate?
I'm about 90% that this is correct. The name is called cellular junctions.
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 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 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 type muscle cells are arranged in sheets or layers with adjacent muscle cells electrically connected by gap junctions and mechanically connected by dense bodies?
cardic
What types of cell junctions connect cells within tissues?
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.
