Centrioles Microtubules Outline Structure Function Component Cytoskeleton Eukaryotic

Front Outline the structure and function of centrioles.
Back Centrioles - component of cytoskeleton in most eukaryotic cells
  • Composed of microtubules (9 sets of 3 microtubules)
  • Found at the base of cilia and flagella, thought to play a role in the positioning of them
  • Two associated centrioles form a centrosome which is involved in assembly and organisation of spindle fibers during cell div
