Atlantic City is connected to other cities in several ways. New Jersey Transit's Atlantic City Rail Terminal at the Atlantic City Convention Center provides service from 30th Street Station in Philadelphia through several smaller South Jersey communities via the Atlantic City Line.
Epithelial cells are held together by strong anchoring (zonula adherens) junctions. The adherens junction lies below the tight junction (occluding junction). In the gap (about 15-20nm) between the two cells, there is a protein called cadherin-a cell membrane glycoprotein.(The type of cadherin found here is E-cadherin). occluding junctions (zonula occludens or tight junctions). 2  adhering junctions (zonula adherens). 3  desmosomes (macula adherens). 4  There are also ' hemidesmosomes ' that lie on the basal membrane, to help stick the cells to the underlying basal lamina.
Imagine a largely waterproof zipper connecting the sides of two different jackets. That zipper is like a tight junction (TJ), also called an occluding junction. A TJ creates a small zone that occludes the extracellular space (the space between cells). This is why tight junctions are also called zonula occludens.
