Making the world better, one answer at a time. 1. Tight Junctions = tight, zipper-like junctions between cells; prevent intercellular passage of materials; 2. Desmosomes = anchoring junctions that hold adjacent cells together; 3. Gap Junctions = communicating (transport) channels between adjacent cells.
1. Intercellular junctions are crucial for the development and functioning of epithelial tissues as well as endothelia. In epithelia, tight junctions (or zonula occludens) are the most apical intercellular junction and form a continuous structure that completely circumvents the cells [1] .
