Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Different types of intercellular junctions, including plasmodesmata, tight junctions, gap junctions, and desmosomes. Plasmodesmata (singular form: plasmodesma) are intercellular organelles found only in plant and algal cells. Tight junctions are located within our body's epithelia. Epithelia is the plural of epithelium. Epithelium is a word that refers to the covering of the body's internal and external surfaces. This includes organs (such as skin), blood vessels, and cavities. Gap junctions are found in many places throughout the body. This includes epithelia, which are the coverings of body surfaces, as well as nerves, cardiac (heart) muscle, and smooth muscle (such as that of the intestines).
