The right answer is gap junctions.

The communicating junctions, also called gap junctions or macula communicans or nexus or lacunar junctions or permeable junctions, are intercellular junctions connecting the cytoplasm of two neighboring cells. In humans, communicating junctions are mainly located in the central nervous system (CNS), the heart, the liver, the retina, the blood vessels and the smooth muscles.
