Terminal bar

Terminal bar

Terminal bar is a historical term given to the junctional complexes that attach adjacent epithelial cells on their lateral surfaces: the Zonula Occludens, Zonula Adherens, Macula Adherens and Macula Communicans. It is so named because under light microscopy, it appears as a bar at the terminal, or apical surface of epithelial cells.It should not be confused with the Terminal web, which is an actinous web underlying microvilli on specialized epithelial cells.
