Tissue Types and Structures
Cards in this deck (5)
- 1Tight Junctionjoins adjacent plasma membranes of two cells
strands of transmembrane proteins are tightly connected to ensure there is no leaks - 2Adherens Junctionjoins adjacent plasma membranes of two cells
transmembrane glycoprotein (cadherin) and actin microfilaments form a adhesion band. this helps junction deal with high contractile force. - 3Djoins adjacent plasma membranes of two cells
joined by transmembrane proteins (cadherin) and on the cytoplasmic side has intermediate filaments formed by keratin which stretch across the whole cell - 4Hemidesmosome Junctionjoins cells to the basement membrane
transmembrane protein integrin binds to a protein in the basement membrane called laminin. the intermediate filaments are formed from keratin again. - 5Gap Junctionjoins adjacent cells while allowing movement between the cells
connexons- which are channels which ions and small solutes can pass through are made from connexins.
are found in places with no blood supply
