cell junctions
seals the space between cells
tight junction
weblike strands of transmembrane proteins
tight junctions
connects like a velcro
adherens junction
acts as a barrier to control the movement of material
tight junctions
cell junctions that contains cadherins and plaque
adherens and desmosomes
attaches both to membrane proteins and to microfilaments of the cytoskeleton
adherens junctions
it is a transmembrane glycoprotein crucial to cell to cell adhesion
cadherins
enables to withstand mechanical stress and could maintain their structure
adherens junction
a cell junction that provides structural support
adherens
a cell junction that provides strength
desmosomes
does not connect to the microfilament instead it attaches to intermediate filaments
desmosomes
what are the intermediate filaments consists of
keratin
it prevents epidermal cells from separating under tension
desmosomes
it anchors the cells to the base
hemidesmosomes
do not link any adjacent cells
hemidesmosomes
