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)

desmosomes is an anchoring junction
gap junctions
what is the clearance or additional fill at the curve at road T junction
Transistor will be in OFF mode.
Resistor in IC are made of semiconductor structures in a manner similar to transistors and PN junctions
a. anchoring junctions
anchoring junctions, im pretty positive. if not its tight junctions. but yeah, pretty sure its anchoring junctions.
desmosomes is an anchoring junction
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.
desmosomes
Desmosomes - anchoring junctions that hold adjacent cells together
Desmosomes - anchoring junctions that hold adjacent cells together
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.
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
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.
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...
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.
