Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Focal contact, also known as a focal adhesion, is a protein complex that connects the extracellular matrix to the actin cytoskeleton. Adhesive junctions are the type of cellular junctions that connect adjacent cells by anchoring them to the extracellular matrix, and they specifically include focal adhesions as a subtype. Gap junctions connect adjacent cells by forming channels that allow for direct communication, plasmodesmata are similar structures in plant cells, and tight junctions form a seal between adjacent cells to prevent substances from leaking through the intercellular space. None of these junctions are associated with focal contacts.
