  27. Figure 6.29 Extracellular matrix (ECM) of an animal cell Collagen fibers are embedded in a web of proteoglycan complexes. A proteoglycan complex consists of hundreds of proteoglycan molecules attached noncovalently to a single long polysac- charide molecule. Polysaccharide molecule EXTRACELLULAR FLUID Carbo- hydrates Fibronectin attaches the ECM to integrins embedded in the plasma membrane. Core protein Integrins are membrane proteins that are bound to the ECM on one side and to associated proteins attached to microfilaments on the other. This linkage can transmit stimuli between the cell’s external environment and its interior and can result in changes in cell behavior.

  29. Figure 6.31 Exploring Intercellular Junctions in Animal Tissues TIGHT JUNCTIONS At tight junctions, the membranes of neighboring cells are very tightly pressed against each other, bound together by specific proteins (purple). Forming continu- ous seals around the cells, tight junctions prevent leakage of extracellular fluid across a layer of epithelial cells. Tight junction Tight junctions prevent fluid from moving across a layer of cells 0.5 µm DESMOSOMES Desmosomes (also called anchoring junctions) function like rivets, fastening cells together into strong sheets. Intermediate filaments made of sturdy keratin proteins anchor desmosomes in the cytoplasm. Tight junctions Intermediate filaments Desmosome Gap junctions 1 µm GAP JUNCTIONS Gap junctions (also called communicating junctions) provide cytoplasmic channels from one cell to an adjacent cell. Gap junctions consist of special membrane proteins that surround a pore through which ions, sugars, amino acids, and other small molecules may pass. Gap junctions are necessary for commu- nication between cells in many types of tissues, including heart muscle and animal embryos.
