Solution

The correct option is B Desmosomes
  • Welded arena between two adjacent animal cells is desmososmes.
  • Desmosomes or macula adherents refers to the cell structure which is specialized for cell-to-cell adhesion.
  • They are obtained from protein plaques present in the cell membranes which are linked by filaments.
  • They are found in tissue having intense mechanical stress (bladder tissue, gastrointestinal mucosa).
  • So, the correct answer is 'Desmosomes'.
