Tight junction helping to prevent molecules to passing between the cells and helping to maintain the polarity present in the cell with the help of bind cells together.

Tight junction have several functions:

1) Tight junction are present in the epithelial cells, these cells lines the body cavity and the surface which is present in the body. They are helping to separate epithelial cells from the nearby environment and also helping to separate from the surface which is present in the body.

The term that is used to describe the process of collecting a tissue sample from the endocervix is liquid-based Pap.

<h3>What is endocervix?</h3>

To examine the cellular structure of the endocervix, a pap smear examination is carried out.

When the pap smear is placed directly into a liquid fixative instead of being spread onto a glass slide it is called a liquid-based Pap.

Therefore, the term that is used to describe the process of collecting a tissue sample from the endocervix is liquid-based Pap.
