Abstract:
Two types of gap junction are described, they are different in the size, the spacing and the polarity of their intramembrane particles. The dense type shows two kinds of particles which rather remain joined to the P fracture face. The loose type shows larger and more spaced out particles which rather are held by the E fracture face. These observations demonstrate that one needs to shade the distinction between P-type gap (Vertebrate) and E-type gap (Arthropoda).
