Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tight junctions form a barrier between cells, restricting movement of molecules and ions through the space between cells. Paracellular transport refers to the movement of substances through this space, which is only possible when tight junctions are permeable. Therefore, tight junctions are associated with paracellular transport.
