The cytoskeleton's functions include organizing organelles (microtubules), enabling movement (microfilaments), and maintaining cell structure (intermediate filaments).
The cytoskeleton includes microtubules for organelles like flagella and spindle fibers, microfilaments for cyclosis and amoeboid movement, and intermediate filaments for cell shape and compartment integration.
