Chapter 3, Problem 16WIO
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The use of junctions in animal cells.
Concept introduction:
In animal cells, neighboring cells are in contact with each other in two ways either by the presence of the extracellular matrix (ECM) or by forming junctions. The cells with junctions are in direct physical contact with each other unlike the cells with the ECM.
