E)adhesion belt

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Desmosomes are disk-shaped structures with especially adhesive glycoproteins around each cell that bind cells to one another. Tight junctions form a barrier to prevent the flow of molecules and ions through the extracellular space between adjacent cells. Hemidesmosomes are structures that anchor cells to the basement membrane. Gap junctions provide a direct pathway for communication between neighboring cells. Adhesion belts are continuous bands of actin filaments that encircle the apical region of each epithelial cell, forming a seal between adjacent cells.
