Occluding junctions, also known as tight junctions, are specialized connections between adjacent cells that create a barrier to prevent the passage of substances between them. They are primarily found in epithelial tissues and play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of cell layers by regulating paracellular transport. Tight junctions help to maintain the distinct environments on either side of the epithelium, crucial for processes like absorption and secretion. They are composed of proteins such as claudins and occludins, which interact to seal the space between cells.

What type of intercellular junction stops materials from crossing an eithelium between cells?
Tight junctions form a seal between adjacent epithelial cells, preventing the passage of materials between cells. They help maintain the integrity and barrier function of the epithelium.
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.
