Study Notes

  • Cytoskeleton provides support, organization, and mechanical forces to the cell.
  • It contributes to cell movement, division, and morphology.
  • Microtubules are responsible for mitosis and cell division.
  • Cytoskeleton is a polymer of polypeptides with dynamic changes.
  • The majority of the dynamic changes occur at the ends of filaments.
  • There are three types of filaments: actin microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments.
  • Actin microfilaments are about 8nm, microtubules are about 25nm, and intermediate filaments are about 10nm.
  • Cytoskeleton is essential for cell migration and contraction.
  • It participates in the traffic of intracellular components.
  • Cytoskeleton is necessary for the movement of flagella and cilia.
