a tight junction is when two cells are anchored together BY desmosomes, which act like spot welds. This enables them to stay together without being pulled apart and also allows them to pass things to each other through their semi-permeable membrane.
Desmosomes - anchoring junctions that hold adjacent cells together
Adherens juctions. Which can also be found in skin and heart muscles
Desmosomes are found in animals. They are specialized cell junctions that provide strong adhesion between neighboring cells, especially in tissues subjected to mechanical stress like epithelial and cardiac tissues. Plants have different types of cell junctions, such as plasmodesmata, which facilitate communication between plant cells.
If the answer choices are a. Extracellular Martix b. Desmosomes c. Gap Junctions d. Tight Junctions e. Peroxisomes Then the answer is definitely C, Gap Junctions
Animal cells are mostly bound together by what are known as intercellular junctions. There are three types of cell junctions: anchoring junctions, tight junctions and gap junctions. Of these, anchoring junctions, which include adherens junction, desmosomes and hemidesmosomes, help bind the animal cells together, in an extracellular matrix.
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...
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,
Desmosomes - anchoring junctions that hold adjacent cells together
Desmosomes - anchoring junctions that hold adjacent cells together
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.
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
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.
Desmosomes and gap junctions But, more specifically...the junctions found in Cardiac muscles are called "Intercalated Discs" singular: INTERCALATED DISC plural: INTERCALATED DISCS

Anchoring junctions, such as desmosomes and hemidesmosomes, are types of cell junctions that are attached to the cytoskeleton. They provide strong adhesion between cells and between cells and the extracellular matrix by linking to intermediate filaments.
