About this document
Overview of Cell Junctions and Adhesions by Rizky Nur Indah is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Tight junctions form a seal between epithelial cells to control the diffusion of molecules through the paracellular space and maintain cell polarity. Desmosomes anchor intermediate filaments of adjacent cells to provide strength to tissues. Gap junctions allow small molecules and electrical signals to pass between cells for coordination of functions.
