Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anchoring junctions, also known as desmosomes, fasten skin cells into strong sheets by connecting intermediate filaments of adjacent cells. Basal bodies are responsible for organizing microtubules in cilia and flagella. Tight junctions form impermeable barriers between cells, while gap junctions allow for communication and exchange of materials between cells.
