Match the following intercellular junctions.

a

desmosomes

cell membranes

gap junctions

tight junctions

​ ​ (a)   junctions, which can be found on the apical (surface) border between epithelial cells such as those lining the inside of the stomach, to block the passage of various potentially harmful chemicals across the cell monolayer and help to close the space between cells by fusing cell membranes.

• Tight
• Desmosomal
• Gap

​ ​ (a)   junctions, which can be found between muscle cells of the heart, form tubular channels between cells to allow for the exchange of substances.

• Tight
• Desmosomal
• Gap

​ ​ (a)   junctions, which can be found between cells of epidermis (outer layer of skin) and cardiac muscle tissue, bind cells by forming "spot welds" between cell membranes in order to resist high shearing forces and abrasions.

• Desmosomal
• Gap
