Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Keratin filaments are anchored to desmosomes, which are junctions that hold cells together and provide mechanical strength to tissues. Adherens junctions and tight junctions are also involved in cell junctions, but they do not anchor keratin filaments. Gap junctions are channels that allow for direct communication between cells, but they do not anchor keratin filaments either.
