Figure 4-2b Cell Junctions
Interlocking junctional proteins Tight junction Terminal web Adhesion belt A tight junction is formed by the fusion of the outer layers of two plasma membranes. Tight junctions prevent the diffusion of fluids and solutes between the cells. A continuous adhesion belt lies deep to the tight junction. This belt is tied to the microfilaments of the terminal web. 18

Figure 4-6b Modes of Glandular Secretion
Salivary gland Breaks down Mammary gland Golgi apparatus Secretion Regrowth Apocrine. Apocrine secretion involves the loss of apical cytoplasm. Inclusions, secretory vesicles, and other cytoplasmic components are shed in the process. The gland cell then undergoes growth and repair before it releases additional secretions.

Holocrine secretion occurs as superficial gland cells burst. Continued secretion involves the replacement of these cells through the mitotic division of underlying stem cells.
