Solution
Different cell junctions that are found in tissues are:-
- Tight junctions: Here the plasma membrane of adjacent epithelial cells are held close together.
- Gap junctions: They are formed for the exchange of chemicals between adjacent cells.
- Adhering junctions: As the name suggests they stick together the neighbouring cells.
