In which one of the following preparations are you likely to come across cell junctions most frequently?
Options
- Athrombocytes
- Btendon
- Chyaline cartilage
- Dciliated epithelium.
Correct answer
D. ciliated epithelium.
Step-by-step solution
Cell junctions are especially abundant in epithelial tissues. They consist of protein complexes and provide contact between neighbouring cells, between a cell and the extracellular matrix, or they built up the paracellular barrier of epithelia and control the paracellular transport. The other three (thrombocytes, tendon and hyaline cartilage) belongs to connective tissue. Thrombocytes or platelets aid the formation of blood clots by releasing various protein substances. Tendon attaches a muscle to a bone and hyalin
