Question

Which type of junction faciliitates the cells to communicate with each other by connecting the cytoplasm of adjoing cells?

• A. Tight junction
• B. Gap junction
• C. Both a & c
• D. Adhering junction

Answer 1

The correct option is C Both a & c

Tight junctions help to stop substances from leaking across a tissue. Adhering junctions perform cementing to keep neighbouring cells together. Gap junctions facilitate the cells to communicate with each other by connecting the cytoplasm of adjoining cells, for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules and sometimes big molecules.
Both tight junction and gap junction help cell to cell communication.
