Cell junctions are really important for how our body tissues work and stay together. Let's break it down:

• Types of Junctions: There are different kinds, like tight junctions, gap junctions, and desmosomes.

• Functionality:

  • Tight junctions act like a seal to keep cells together and stop leaks.
  • Desmosomes help by linking cells tightly, making them stronger.
  • Gap junctions allow cells to talk to each other and share important stuff.

• Integrity: These connections help tissues stay strong and flexible, kind of like how our skin can handle pressure.

In simple terms, cell junctions are like the glue and the communication system that help everything work well in our bodies!
