    "INTERCELLULAR JUNCTION" 

INTRODUCTION :

Cell membrane of neighboring cells are connected with one other .

There are 3 types of junction
                                                1) TIGHT

                                                3) GAP
 1) Tight junction : 

• other name zona occuludens
•      They form a barrier to movement of ions and other solutes from one cell to another.

2) Adherans : 
other name zonula adherans.

·       There are  2 types of attachment –hemidesmosome and desmosome.
