Desmosomes are cell - to - cell adhesion structures in animal cells that serve to bind cells together. The cytoskeleton provides structural support and aids in cell movement. Plasmodesmata are found in plant cells for cell - to - cell communication. Tight junctions prevent the passage of substances between cells. Gap junctions allow for the direct exchange of ions and small molecules between cells.
