Which cell junctions are commonly found in areas that are subject to stretching, such as the skin?

A) adhesion junctions
B) gap junctions
C) tight junctions
D) plasmodesmata
E) None of the answer choices is found between skin cells.

Adhesion Junctions

Specialized structures in cells that help in the binding of cells with each other or with the extracellular matrix.

Gap Junctions

Specialized intercellular connections that facilitate the direct transfer of ions and small molecules between the cytoplasms of adjacent cells.

Tight Junctions

Specialized connections between neighboring cells that create a barrier to prevent the leakage of molecules across cell layers.
