desmosome

(ˈdɛsməˌsəʊm) n (Biology) cytology a structure in the cell membranes of adjacent cells that binds them together

des•mo•some

(ˈdɛz məˌsoʊm)

n. a plaquelike site on a cell surface that functions in maintaining cohesion with an adjacent cell. [1930–35; < Greek desm(ós) band, chain (see desmid) + -o- + -some³]

desmosome

des·mo·some

(dez'mō-sōm), A site of adhesion between two epithelial cells consisting, in each cell, of a dense attachment plaque with associated intermediate filaments and transmembrane proteins known as cadherins. Synonym(s): bridge corpuscle, macula adherens [desmo- + G. sōma, body]

des·mo·some

(des'mō-sōm) A site of adhesion between two epithelial cells, consisting of a dense attachment plaque separated from a similar structure in the other cell by a thin layer of extracellular material.
Synonym(s): macula adherens. [desmo- + G. sōma, body]

desmosome

a thickened zone in the cell membrane of adjacent eukaryote cells.

desmosome

A site of adhesion between two adjacent cells, such as in the corneal epithelium. It consists of a small, dense body in which the two halves are separated by an intercellular gap filled with extracellular substance. The basal cells are attached at irregular intervals to the underlying basement membrane (adjacent to Bowman's layer) by hemidesmosomes (one half of a desmosome). Thus, scraping off the epithelium usually leaves fragments of the basal cells attached to the basement membrane.
