Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Gap junctions are also called macula communicans or communicating junctions. They are protein complexes that create a channel between two animal cells. This allows for the passage of cytoplasm, water, nutrients, and signaling molecules.
Detailed explanation-2: -Gap junctions are involved in cellular communication-not just in epithelial tissue, but in other tissue types as well. Gap junctions are specialized connections that form a narrow pore between adjacent cells. These pores permit small molecules and ions to move from one cell to another.
