Cell joining Flashcards
Types of Tissue
Connective, Muscle tissue, epithelial tissue and nervous tissue
Types of adhesion
Cell-cell and cell to matrix
How does Cell to cell adhesion work
Uses Cell Adhesion molecules
How does cell to matrix adhesion work
Occurs through adhesion receptors to the ECM
What are the different junctions
Gap, Adheren, Desmosomes, and tight
Role of tight junctions
Hold tissue together
Control solute flow and allow polarisation of the plasma membrane
Role of Gap junctions
Allow diffusion, help communication
Role of Adheren Junctions
Hold tissue together
Role of Desmosomes
Hold tissue together
What are the anchoring junctions
Desmosomes and Adherens
What are the anchoring junctions
Desmosomes and Adherens
What are integral proteins
Inside the cells
Integral proteins for Tight junctions
Occludin and Claudin
What are JAMS
Type of CAm junction adhesion molecule
What are adherens made of
5 e-cadherins joined both cis and trans with Ca2+ inbetween them. linked to actin cytoskeletin via intracellular adapters
