Intercellular junctions
Animal cell support is provided by __________ __________ and __________.
Extracellular matrix, cytoskeleton
Extracellular matrices are made up of:
Collagen and proteoglycans
Cytoskeleton is composed of __________ and __________.
Microtubules and microfilaments
The 3 types of intercellular junctions are:
Tight junctions, desmosomes, and gap junctions
“Suture junctions”
Tight junctions
“Anchoring junctions”
Desmosomes
“Communicating junctions”
Gap junctions
__________ __________ are protein binding of neighboring plasma membranes; water tight.
Tight junctions
These help the fluids stay in your body.
Tight junctions
__________ and strong, rivet-like proteins that connect tissues into strong sheets (e.g. muscles).
Desmosomes
__________ __________ provide a pore through which cellular products can be exchanged.
Gap junctions
These are important in keeping your heart beating.
Gap junctions
These do NOT really offer structural support.
Gap junctions
