What are hemidesmosomes? Structures that anchor the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane. Cell adhesion molecules that are associated with actin filaments near the plasma membrane. Cell junctions that allow for passage of ions directly between cells. cellular junctions that anchor the epidermis to the papillary layer of the dermis.
