Question

* How many kinds of the cell junctions are there
between epithelial cells? And try to explain
their function.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Cell junctions can be classified into three functional groups:

1.

Occluding junctions seal cells together in an epithelium in a way that prevents even small molecules from leaking from one side of the sheet to the other.

2.

Anchoring junctions mechanically attach cells (and their cytoskeletons) to their neighbors or to the extracellular matrix.

3.

Communicating junctions mediate the passage of chemical or electrical signals from one interacting cell to its partner.
