Question

Points of intracellular modifications that help hold cells together are called
A) merocrine secretions
B) desmosomes
C) stratum spinosum
D) basement membrane

Accepted Answer

Desmosomes are points of intracellular modifications that help hold cells together.They create a star-shaped appearance because they attach to adjacent cells (ultrastructurally/outside the cell wall)by a series of "spot welds." Merocrine secretions work with the Golgi apparatus in "packaging" protein material.Stratum spinosum and the basement membrane are components of epithelial tissue.
