Detailed explanation-2: -Desmosomes are one of the stronger cell-to-cell adhesion types and are found in tissue that experience intense mechanical stress, such as cardiac muscle tissue, bladder tissue, gastrointestinal mucosa, and epithelia.

Detailed explanation-3: -Desmosomes link the intracellular network of keratin intermediate filaments to anchor it to apposing keratinocyte cell surface membranes.
