NEET Questions / Zoology / Structural Organisation In Animals / Animal Tissues
Which statement regarding the specialized junctions between epithelial cells is INCORRECT?
Tight junctions facilitate communication between adjacent cells.
Adherens junctions contribute to the structural integrity of epithelial tissues.
Desmosomes provide strong adhesion between adjacent cells, using cadherins linked to intermediate filaments.
Gap junctions allow the passage of small molecules and ions between adjacent cells.

Chondrocytes
Osteocytes
Adipocytes
Keratinocytes
