Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The junction that connects microfilaments inside the cell to the ECM outside the cell are adhering junctions, specifically focal adhesions. Tight junctions connect adjacent cells, gap junctions allow for communication and exchange of small molecules between adjacent cells, and plasmodesmata are specific to plant cells and connect adjacent cells for communication and transport.
