Q

describe the descending lateral (apical-> basal) junctions of epithelial cells

A

First there are tight junctions (or occluding junctions, zonula occludens) these function as a barrier. The cell membranes themselves are connected/fused by strands of transmembrane proteins such as claudins and occludins— creates impenetrable seal

Then there are the Adhering Junctions :

  • zonula adherens (link actin cytoskeleton)-intercellular bridging proteins linked to actin filaments of cytoskeleton
  • desmosomes/macula adherens (protein connection for stress/mechanical pull)-intercellular bridges linked to cytokeratins
  • —provide structural cohesion/stability

-lastly Gap Junctions: allow electrical coupling of cells by direct cytoplasmic connections (connexons)-allows intercommunication
