The cell junctions called tight, adhering and gap junctions are found in :
  1. Neural tissue
  2. Muscular tissue
  3. Connective tissue
  4. Epithelial tissue

Explanation: Tight junctions, adhering junctions, and gap junctions are specialized cell junctions found in epithelial tissue. Tight junctions: Prevent leakage between cells, maintaining tissue integrity. Adhering junctions: Provide mechanical strength by linking cells to each other. Gap junctions: Allow communication between adjacent cells by permitting the passage of ions and small molecules.
