Another name for a gap junction is a nexus. These structures are specialized intercellular connections that allow direct communication between adjacent cells, facilitating the transfer of ions and small molecules. Gap junctions play a crucial role in various physiological processes, including cellular signaling and tissue homeostasis.

The main function of a gap junction is to allow the transmission of electrical impulses among cells. These transmissions come from neighboring cells and they would not be able to communicate without a gap junction.

The channel between animal cells is called a gap junction. Gap junctions allow for the direct exchange of ions and small molecules between adjacent cells, facilitating communication and coordination within tissues.
another name for diode is "pn" junction.
I cannot think of any, but a pn junction is a part of a diode and has a rectifying properties.
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,
