Cell junctions occur in which plasma membrane of epithelial cells?
A) apical

D) basal lamina

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cell junctions occur in the lateral plasma membrane of epithelial cells, which connects adjacent cells and forms a barrier between the internal and external environment. The apical plasma membrane faces the external environment, the basal lamina forms the basement membrane, and the nuclear membrane surrounds the nucleus, so they do not contain cell junctions.
