  • Epithelial tissue contains tight, adhering, and gap junction cell junctions. 
  • The entire surface of the body is covered in epithelial tissue. It is composed of tightly packed cells arranged in one or more layers.
  • The covering or lining of all internal and external body surfaces is made of this specialized tissue. 
  • The endothelium is the name given to the epithelial tissue that can be found on internal body surfaces.
  • These cover all body surfaces, cavities, and hollow organs and are found all over the body.

Below are the three primary junctions found in these tissues:

  1. Tight junctions, which enclose adjacent epithelial cells, 

  2. Strong mechanical bonds are created between adjacent cells by adhering junctions.

  3. Gap junctions are intracellular channels that allow molecules and ions to exchange hands.

Therefore, the correct response is option 2).
