What type of cell connections is found between endothelial cells of capillaries?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Tight junctions are found in the endothelial cells of capillaries to restrict the passage of substances between the cells and to maintain the integrity of the capillary wall. This is important because capillaries are the site of exchange of nutrients and gases between the blood and surrounding tissues. Gap junctions, adhesion junctions, and intercalated disks are found in other types of cells but not in endothelial cells of capillaries.
