Description

Epithelia of invertebrates contain zona continua and septate junctions not found in mammals. Left, zonula continua from gut epithelium of a flea; right, septate junction from the midgut epithelium of an insect. Left image by Susumu Ito; right courtesy of Jean Gouranton are Figures 76 and 77 respectively, from Chapter 3 (Junctional Specializations) of 'The Cell, 2nd Ed.' by Don W. Fawcett M.D. A PDF copy of the accompanying chapter is available on the ASCB's BioEDUCATE website.
