Asked by taiwo
The structure you're describing is called a Desmosome. Desmosomes are a type of cell junction that structurally connects two cells together, with disc-shaped adhesive material between them and tonofibrils that radiate from the adhesive region. They play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of tissues, particularly those that undergo significant mechanical stress, like skin and heart muscle.
