Which Type of Junction Involves a Connection to the Actin

Question

Which type of junction involves a connection to the actin cytoskeleton?
A)adherens junctions
B)desmosomes
C)tight junctions
D)gap junctions

Accepted Answer

Adherens junctions connect cells to each other as well as to the actin cytoskeleton inside the cell. This allows for the transmission of mechanical forces between cells and contributes to the overall strength and stability of tissues. Desmosomes, tight junctions, and gap junctions do not involve a connection to the actin cytoskeleton.
