Front Outline structure and function of each component of the cytoskeleton.

Components
  • Microfilaments - contractile fibers of actin, allow cells to move + cytokinesis (fibers can get shorter/longer which allows the cell to move)
  • Microtubules - tubes made of chains of globular tubulin, form scaffold to maintain cell shape and form track ways along which organelles can move around within the cell
  • Intermediate filaments - provide additional strength to support the cell
