The point above the lower esophageal sphincter where the squamous epithelium of the esophagus and the columnar epithelium of the stomach meet. Synonym: transition zone. See: illustrationtight junctionA part of the junctional complex at the lateral interface between epithelial cells; also called zonula occludens. neuromuscular junction the area of contact between a MOTOR NEURON and a MUSCLE FIBRE.Neuromuscular junctionThe site at which nerve impulses are transmitted to muscles.Mentioned in: Botulinum Toxin Injections, Myasthenia Gravis">Neuromuscular junction (seen endoscopically)" href="javascript:eml2('davisTab', 'j05.jpg')"> SQUAMOCOLUMNAR JUNCTION: Squamocolumnar junction of the distal esophagus (seen endoscopically)squamocolumnar junction1.
