A gap junction enables connections between two different animal cells. It allows ions and molecules to pass between the cells freely and helps the organism to continue to exist.

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.

A gap junction enables connections between two different animal cells. It allows ions and molecules to pass between the cells freely and helps the organism to continue to exist.
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.
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,
Gap junction
A junction that is a protein channel linking the cytoplasms of adjacent cells is called a gap junction. This structure allows for direct communication and sharing of ions and small molecules between neighboring cells.
