Cell junction facilitating cell to cell communication is?
Cell junction facilitating cell to cell communication is?
The correct option is C Gap junction
A. Tight junctions are multi-protein complexes that hold cells of the
same tissue together and prevent movement of water and water-soluble molecules
between cells.
B. Adherents junctions are large multiprotein complexes that join the
actin cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane to form adhesive contacts between
cells, or between cells and extracellular matrix.
C. Gap junctions are the main site of cell-cell signalling or
communication that allows small molecules to diffuse between adjacent cells.
D. Desmosomes also provide strength and durability to cells and tissues
and are located just below adherent’s junctions
E. Brush border is a strip of microvilli on the plasma membrane of an
epithelial cell (as in a kidney tubule) that is specialized for absorption.
Thus, the correct answer is Gap function, so option C is correct.
