supporting layer of connective tissue under the epithelium made of laminin which is a protein in epithelial cells that links and supports type of intercellular junction in animal cells that prevents the leakage of material between cells by sealing the space with occudin and claudin proteins that form chain-like molecules type of intercellular junction that gives mechanical support and strength and uses actin connected to cadherin molecules (which interact with each other) to pull cells together can act as a drawstring to pull cells into a curvature type of intercellular junction that gives mechanical strength and uses keratin filaments anchored to cytoplasmic plaque and attached to cadherins to pull cells together disease in which immune system attacks caherins in desmosomes, so keratin gets messed up and tons of blisters form half of a desmosome, links cell to basal lamina using intermediate filaments bound to integrins bound to anchoring filament (laminin) bound into basal lamina physically bringing membranes close together using channels called connexons (made up of connexin proteins) channels that form gap junctions and only let through ions and water when open (many in heart cells because good for electrical coupling) infusion of normal bone marrow cells from a donor with matching cells and tissue to a recipient with a certain type of leukemia or anemia an adult stem cell found in bone marrow that produces many different types of blood cells

1. Basal Lamina

supporting layer of connective tissue under the epithelium made of laminin which is a protein in epithelial cells that links and supports

2. Tight Junctions

type of intercellular junction in animal cells that prevents the leakage of material between cells by sealing the space with occudin and claudin proteins that form chain-like molecules

3. Adherens Junctions

type of intercellular junction that gives mechanical support and strength and uses actin connected to cadherin molecules (which interact with each other) to pull cells together
can act as a drawstring to pull cells into a curvature

4. Desmosomes

type of intercellular junction that gives mechanical strength and uses keratin filaments anchored to cytoplasmic plaque and attached to cadherins to pull cells together

5. Pemphigus vulgaris

disease in which immune system attacks caherins in desmosomes, so keratin gets messed up and tons of blisters form

6. Hemidesmosomes

half of a desmosome, links cell to basal lamina using intermediate filaments bound to integrins bound to anchoring filament (laminin) bound into basal lamina

7. Gap Junctions

physically bringing membranes close together using channels called connexons (made up of connexin proteins)

8. Connexons

channels that form gap junctions and only let through ions and water when open (many in heart cells because good for electrical coupling)

9. Bone Marrow Transplant

infusion of normal bone marrow cells from a donor with matching cells and tissue to a recipient with a certain type of leukemia or anemia

10. Hemopoietic Stem Cell

an adult stem cell found in bone marrow that produces many different types of blood cells
