Desmosomes

Explanation:

The plates holding cells together in tissues are called desmosomes. Desmosomes are the tissue basement. They hold the cells together. So the tissues retain in a definite shape. These are the intermediate filaments and make a net-like structure. These are made up of keratins. It is a structural protein found exclusively in nails and hairs. The desmosomes are 3 types - spot desmosomes, belt desmosomes, and hemidesmosomes. Desmosomes are the connection between 2 cells.
