Junction

Junction is a term used in various fields of study, including biology, physics, and engineering. In the context of biology, a junction refers to the point where two or more things meet or converge. In physics and engineering, a junction is a point where things come together or intersect.

Biology

In biology, a junction often refers to the point where two or more cells or tissues meet. This can include gap junctions, which allow for communication between cells, and tight junctions, which prevent substances from leaking between cells.

Physics

In physics, a junction can refer to the point where two or more paths or waves intersect. This can include wave junctions, where waves meet and interact, and path junctions, where paths cross or meet.

Engineering

In engineering, a junction can refer to the point where two or more roads or railways meet. This can include road junctions, where roads intersect or meet, and railway junctions, where railways intersect or meet.
