Transcribed Image Text:**Educational Resource on Cellular Structures**
**Interactive Activity: Part A**
**Instructions:**
Drag the labels to the appropriate location in the figure.
**Labels to be Used:**
- Tight (impermeable) junction
- Basement membrane
- Connexon
- Desmosome (anchoring junction)
- Intercellular space
- Plasma membranes of adjacent cells
- Microvilli
- Gap (communicating) junction
**Diagram Explanation:**
The image illustrates a segment of a cellular structure that includes various junctions and components crucial for cell-to-cell communication and attachment.
Key areas to observe:
1. **Tight (impermeable) junction:** This is typically found at the apical part of adjacent cells creating a barrier that prevents molecules from passing through the intercellular space.
2. **Intercellular space:** The space between adjacent cells.
3. **Basement membrane:** A thin layer found at the basal side of the tissue which helps in anchoring the cells to the underlying connective tissue.
4. **Plasma membranes of adjacent cells:** These are the outer boundaries of the cells.
5. **Connexon:** These form channels that allow for the transport of ions and small molecules between adjacent cells.
6. **Microvilli:** These are tiny projections found on the apical surface of epithelial cells, increasing surface area for absorption.
7. **Desmosome (anchoring junction):** A junction providing strong adhesion between cells, found scattered along the sides of adjacent cells.
8. **Gap (communicating) junction:** These are communicating channels found between adjacent cells.

- Tutorials on cell junctions
- Interactive quizzes to test your understanding of cellular structures
