Junctional complex between two cells in the epithelium of the intestinal mucosa (rat), intestinal lumen is towards the top of image.

The tight junction (zonula occludens), located nearest the lumen, extends from arrow 1 to arrow 2. The narrowing of the apparent intercellular "gap" (~90 A) is clearly visible, but the fusion line of the two apposed membranes cannot be clearly distin- guished at this magnification. Note that there is relatively little accumulation of dense cytoplasmic material along this part of the complex.

The intermediate junction (zonula adhaerens) extends from arrow 2 to arrow 3. A relatively wide intercellular space (~200 A) is maintained throughout the junction. Extensive condensation of cytoplasmic fibrils occurs as a fine feltwork along either side of the junction. This condensation is continuous with the terminal web (tw) into which the filamentous rootlets (r) of the microvilli penetrate. Plate-like densifications within the cytoplasmic feltwork can be seen along part of the junction, especially along the right side (pi).

The limits of a desmosome are marked by arrows 4 and 5. This element is characterized by a wide intercellular space (~240 A) bisected by an intermediate line (id). Bundles of cytoplasmic fibrils (fd), coarser (diameter ~80 A) and more distinct than those of the terminal web, converge into dense plates (pd) on each side of the desmo- some.
