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 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.


What are the cell junctions that best keep cells from being pulled apart?

The cell junctions that best keep cells from being pulled apart are adherens junctions and desmosomes. Adherens junctions use cell adhesion molecules to connect to the actin cytoskeleton inside the cell, while desmosomes connect to intermediate filaments, providing strong mechanical support to resist pulling forces.


What role does the reference junction play in thermocouple readings?

The reference junction, also known as the cold junction, serves as the point where the thermocouple temperature is compared to the known temperature of the reference junction. This comparison helps to accurately determine the temperature at the measurement point. The reference junction compensation is required because the output voltage of the thermocouple is dependent on the temperature difference between the measurement point and the reference junction.

What type of junction will hold epithelial tissue?

Epithelial cells are bound together in sheets of tissue called epithelia. These sheets are held together through several types of interactions, including tight junctions, adherens, desmosomes, and gap junctions.

What is a desmosome?

The function of desmosomes are to provide the cells with adhesion to one another. Another name for them is macula adherens, which is Latin for adhering spot.
