Question

Desmosomes are found in

• A. epithelial tissue
• B. muscular tissue
• C. nervous tissue
• D. all of these

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Desmosomes are junctional complexes in which adjacent membranes possess discshaped thickenings of about 0.5 ?? diameter, a number of tonofibrils and transmembrane linkers embedded in dense intercellular material. Desmosomes function as spot welds and are hence called spot desmosomes. They occur in epithelia.
