Current Question (ID: 13742)

Question:

The function of the gap junction is to?

Options:

1. Perform cementing to keep neighbouring cells together
2. Facilitate communication between adjoining cells by connecting the cytoplasm for rapid transfer of ions, small molecules and some large molecules
3. Separate two cells from each other
4. Stop substances from leaking across a tissue

Solution:

In animal tissue, three types of cell junctions are found in the epithelium: Tight junctions (Zona occludens) - It helps to stop substances from leaking across a tissue. Plasma membranes in the apical parts of adjacent epithelial cells become tightly packed together or are even fused to form the tight junctions. Adhering junction - It performs cementing to keep neighboring cells together. They are also known as Desmosomes serve anchoring function. Gap junctions - It facilitates the cells to communicate with each other by connecting the cytoplasm of adjoining cells, for rapid transfer of ions and molecules and sometimes big molecules.
