Structure of Cytoskeleton:

The Cytoskeleton is an important, complex, and dynamic cell component. It is invisible under a light Microscope.

Functions of Cytoskeleton:

The cytoskeleton makes the cell shapes, anchors organelles, and moves parts of cells in growth and motility.

Types of Filaments:

There are many types of filaments that make up the cytoskeleton but the most important types are microtubules and microfilaments.

1. Microtubules:

   Microtubules are made up of tubulin subunits and are often used by cells to hold their shape. Microtubules are also the component of cilia and Flagella.

2. Microfilaments:

   Microfilaments are made up of actin subunits. These microfilaments are approximately one-third of the diameter of the microtubule and are often used by cells to change their shapes to hold structures.
