They are cells which mechanically attach cells (and their cytoskelentons) to their neighbours or to the extracellular mattrix.
They enable group of cells such as epithelium to resist streching forces by connecting the cytoskeletal elements of a cell either to those of another cell or to the extracellular matrix.
They are most abundant in tissues that are subjected to sever mechanical stress, such as heart muscle and skin epithelium(epithermis)

What are desmosomes junctions?
desmosomes is an anchoring junction
What is also called a low resistance junction?
gap junctions

When both junctions of NPN diode are reverse biased then the diode is in which mode?
Transistor will be in OFF mode.
What are resistors in IC made of?
Resistor in IC are made of semiconductor structures in a manner similar to transistors and PN junctions
Skin cells are attached to the extracellular matrix by a. anchoring junctions. b. tight junctions. c. plasmodesmata. d. communicating junctions. e. basal bodies.?
a. anchoring junctions
It is essential for heart muscle cells to beat in a coordinated fashion The cell junctions that would best facilitate this are?
anchoring junctions, im pretty positive. if not its tight junctions. but yeah, pretty sure its anchoring junctions.
What are desmosomes junctions?
desmosomes is an anchoring junction
Which tissue would likely contain large amounts of anchoring junctions?
Epithelial tissues, such as skin and mucous membranes, would likely contain large amounts of anchoring junctions. Anchoring junctions help to hold adjacent cells together and provide structural support to tissues that experience mechanical stress or stretching.
What anchoring junctions hold the cells of the stratum spinosum tightly together?
desmosomes
Which cell junction is not illustrated and what is its function?
Desmosomes - anchoring junctions that hold adjacent cells together
Which cell junction is not illustrated and what is it's function?
Desmosomes - anchoring junctions that hold adjacent cells together
What intercellular junction in which cells are bound together by fusion of the outer cell membrane is called what?
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.
What kind of membrane junctions does a cell have?
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
Which type of cell junction is attached to cytoskeleton?
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.
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 binds animal cells together?
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.
