The image attached below depicts a histological slice of human cerebral cortex tissue. Using knowledge of the central nervous system and various cell-cell interactions, identify the key type(s) of cell junctions present in this image (for example, tight junctions, gap junctions, and adherens junctions/desmosomes). Briefly describe the function of these cell junctions. How would the function of the central nervous system be impaired if your above identified cell junctions were disrupted?

Question
The image attached below depicts a histological slice of human cerebral cortex tissue.
Using knowledge of the central nervous system and various cell-cell interactions, identify the
key type(s) of cell junctions present in this image (for example, tight junctions, gap junctions, and adherens junctions/desmosomes). Briefly describe the function of these cell
junctions. How would the function of the central nervous system be impaired if your above identified cell
junctions were disrupted?
