Q. In which one of the following preparations are you likely to come across cell junctions most frequently?
A) thrombocytes
B) tendon
C) hyaline cartilage
D) ciliated epithelium
Explanation
[Solution from source] Epithelial cells are tightly packed with little intercellular matrix, and they are held together by tight, adhering and gap junctions. Tendon and cartilage cells are scattered in abundant matrix, and platelets are free cell fragments, so junctions are rare there. Answer (4).
