Summary Introduction
To review:
The given blank spaces in the statement, “The tight junctions make the spaces between cells ________, whereas, desmosomes increase the _________ of a tissue”.
Introduction:
In the extracellular matrix, cells are anchored to proteins. The cells in a tissue are also linked to each other. There are two different ways through which cells are linked, namely, by integral proteins and by cell junctions. There are three main types of cell junctions, namely, tight junction, desmosomes, and gap junctions.

Students have asked these similar questions
Fill in the blanks: Tight junctions make the spaces between cells ___________, whereas desmosomes increase the ___________of a tissue
The terms vascular and avascular refer to whether or not a tissue contains ______.
living cells
cells actively undergoing cell division
nerves
blood vessels
ground substance
is it blood vessel?
all the following statements
which relate to apical surface
modifications(brush border) of
epithelial cells are true except. *
these are anchored in a dense
mat of microfilaments in the
apical cytoplasm called the
terminal, lateral web.
The apical surface of cells in
intestine is usually covered with
microvilli.
the microfilaments can contract,
By interacting with cytoplasmic
myosin, then caused the
shortening of the microvilli.
cores of microvilli are composed
of parallel actin microfilaments.
