A<unk> , also known as macula adherens (Latin: adhering spot), is a cell structure specialized for cell-to-cell adhesion. A type of junctional complex, they are localized spot-like adhesions randomly arranged on the lateral sides of plasma membranes.<unk> s help to resist shearing forces and are found in simple and stratified squamous epithelium.  The intercellular space is very wide (about 30nm).<unk> s are also found in muscle tissue where they bind muscles cells to one another.
