CELL JUNCTION AND COMMUNICATION
Across
- 5. The transmembrane domain links the CAM to the plasma membrane through which forces.
- 7. a cell-to-cell junction that seals cells together in an epithelium to prevent leakage of small molecules
- 11. cell junction which permit the inter-cellular exchange of substances
- 12. The process of programmed cell death
- 14. Enzyme that break down nucleic acid
- 20. following allows for physiological communication between plant cells
- 23. essential for normal desmosomal adhesion
- 24. connects intermediate filament of one cell with another cell
- 25. desmosomes are known as which adherens
- 27. In a gap junction, the lipid bilayer of adjacent cells is pierced through by proteins called
- 29. following allows for physiological communication between animal cells
- 31. which superfamily molecules consist of more than 25 molecules
- 33. name of molecules that allow cells to maintain contact with one another and with structures in the extracellular matrix
- 35. relay signals both to and from cells.
Down
- 1. gap junctions were first discovered in
- 2. study of cell

- 4. junction between a nerve fibre and a muscle fibre
- 6. looks like half desmosome
- 8. tight junctions are also known as which junction
- 9. Through integrins, the basal end of each cell connects to a specialized layer of extracellular matrix called
- 10. Enzyme that breaks down protein
- 13. Tight junctions between cells are connected areas of which membrane that stitch cells together.
- 14. a messier form of cell death that causes cells to literally swell and burst
- 15. name of tight junction protein
- 16. humans alone have how many different types of integrins
- 17. which signaling allows short range cell-to-cell communication through the release of chemical messenger
- 18. junction that is cluster of inter-cellular channels that allows direct diffusion of ions between adjacent cells
- 19. Signaling pathways are critical to maintaining the state of equilibrium known as within this tissue.
- 21. junction that provides strength to cell by acting like mechanical attachment
- 22. adaptor complexes bind what to cytoskeletal actin
- 26. Binding of an adhesion molecule on one cell to same adhesion molecule on a second cell is called
- 28. The cytoplasmic domain is directly connected to the cytoskeleton by this protein.
