Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Connexons are found in gap junctions, which allow for the direct exchange of ions and small molecules between cells. Desmosomes provide cell-to-cell adhesion, tight junctions prevent paracellular diffusion, adhering junctions provide mechanical stability, and flat junctions are not a recognized epithelial junction type.
