Solution

The best answer would be "Gap Junctions".

Here's why:

  1. Gap Junctions: These are specialized intercellular connections between a multitude of animal cell-types. They directly connect the cytoplasm of two cells, which allows various molecules, ions and electrical impulses to directly pass through a regulated gate between cells. This makes them ideal for both intercellular (between cells) and intracellular (within cells) communication.

  2. Desmosomes: These are a type of junction in animal cells that helps to bind cells together
