In animal cells, cytokinesis begins when astral microtubules signal the cell's equator, activating actin and myosin to form a contractile ring and subsequently a cleavage furrow.
Cytokinesis in animal cells is initiated by astral microtubules signaling the equatorial region, where actin and myosin form a contractile ring, leading to the cleavage furrow.

| Back | The "astral microtubules" send signals to the equatorial region of the cell, where "actin and myosin" are activated thus forming "contractile ring" followed by "cleavage furrow". |
