What's the difference between intersection and junction?

Intersection


Definition:

  • (n.) The act, state, or place of intersecting.
  • (n.) The point or line in which one line or surface cuts another.

Example Sentences:

Junction


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of joining, or the state of being joined; union; combination; coalition; as, the junction of two armies or detachments; the junction of paths.
  • (n.) The place or point of union, meeting, or junction; specifically, the place where two or more lines of railway meet or cross.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The findings clearly reveal that only the Sertoli-Sertoli junctional site forms a restrictive barrier.
  • (2) Thus adrenaline, via pre- and post-junctional adrenoceptors, may contribute to enhanced vascular smooth muscle contraction, which most likely is sensitized by the elevated intracellular calcium concentration.
