Answer:

Gap junctions

Step-by-step explanation:

They allow adjacent cells to communicate. These channels form a close connection between cytoplasm because small molecules such as ions are able to pass through from cell to cell. Examples of cells with gap junctions are cells in heart muscle tissues. Gap junctions are found in animal cells and are akin to plasmodesmata in plant.
