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.
Epithelial tissue provides protein junctions from cell to cell, forming a continuous sheet. These junctions, such as tight junctions, desmosomes, and gap junctions, help maintain the integrity and function of the tissue by facilitating communication and adhesion between cells. Epithelial tissue serves various roles, including protection, absorption, and secretion, depending on its location in the body.
skeletal muscle
Junctions in Animal Cells A tight junction is a watertight seal between two adjacent animal cells. The cells are held tightly against each other by proteins, preventing materials from leaking between the cells.
You would expect to find numerous gap junctions in cardiac muscle tissue, as they allow for rapid electrical communication between cells, coordinating the contraction of the heart.

skeletal muscle
Visceral Muscle Tissue or Visceral Smooth Tissue is a cardiac muscle. Its gap junctions allows actions that is likely to disseminate from one cell to another.
No. It's the only type of muscle tissue that doesn't have gap junctions. Cardiac and smooth muscles have gap junctions.

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.
Without tight junctions in certain tissues, there would be a large amount of molecules freely flowing around the epithelial tissue. These junctions keep the cells in there safe from flowing through the epithelium.
Cell junctions are the areas that hold adjacent cells together and enable them to communicate. These junctions can take the form of tight junctions, gap junctions, or desmosomes, each serving different functions in cell communication and tissue structure.
