Problem 13: Cell junctions

The cell junctions respectively that exclude the passage of water between cells, maintain tissue form and strength, and allow the exchange of small molecules between cells are:

A. gap junctions, desmosomes, and tight junctions.
B. desmosomes, tight junctions and gap junctions.
C. tight junctions, gap junctions, and tight junctions.
D. gap junctions, tight junctions, and desmosomes.
E.
