Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Desmosomes are points of intracellular modifications that help hold cells together. They create a star-shaped appearance because they attach to adjacent cells (ultrastructurally/outside the cell wall) by a series of "spot welds." Merocrine secretions work with the Golgi apparatus in "packaging" protein material. Stratum spinosum and the basement membrane are components of epithelial tissue.
