Identify the cell junctions that help to stop the leakage of the substaances across a tisse and facilitation of communication with neighbouring cells via rapid transfer and molecules

A

Tight junctions and Gap junctions, respectively

B

Adhering junctions and Tight junctions, respectively

C

Adhering junctions and Gap junctions, respectively

D

Gap junctions and Adhering junctions, respectively

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Three types of junctions are found in tissues :
• Tight junctions stop leakage of substances from leaking across a tissue.
• Gap junctions or communication 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.
• Adhering junctions cement and keep neighbouring cells together.
