Adherens junctions can be used to bend epithelial sheets into tubes by enabling the cells to adhere to each other and form a continuous wall that can be shaped into a tube. Adherens junctions are not typically found at the basal surface of cells, are not exclusive to adult tissues, and do not involve fibronectin and integrin interactions.
