Solution
The correct option is C
Gap
In vertebrates, there are three major types of cell junction: Interdigitations(intercelluar adhesion), desmosomes(anchoring junctions) Gap junctions(communicating junction) Tight junctions (occluding junctions). Gap junctions are a specialized intercellula rconnection between a multitude of animal cell-types. They directly connect the cytoplasm of two cells, which allows various molecules, ions and electrical impulses to directly pass through a regulated gate between cells.
