Document Summary

Cell junctions, cell adhesion, and the extracellular matrix. cohesion is mandatory to form an organized multicellular structure: governs the body"s shape, strength and the arrangement of its different cell types. defects within the cell junction, adhesion and ecm can lead to various diseases. two basic building strategies: depends on the strength of the ecm: complex network of proteins and polysaccharide chains that cell secrete: depends on the strength of the cytoskeleton inside the cells and on cell-cell adhesions: these adhesions tie the cytoskeletons of neighbouring cells together. ecm in plants are important plant tissues owe their strength to the cell walls that surround each cell. For anim als, both structur es ar e used for differen t purposes and differen t tissues. animal tissues fall into two categories: connective and epithelial: connective: a lot of ecm cells are sparsely distributed within it www. notesolution. com.
