GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The cytoskeleton provides a structural framework for the cell, serving as a scaffold that determines cell shape and the general organization of the cytoplasm. In addition to playing this structural role, the cytoskeleton is responsible for cell movements.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cytoskeleton of a cell is made up of microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments. These structures give the cell its shape and help organize the cell’s parts.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cell movement: cilia are small projections from the surface of a cell that helps move material on the ciliated side. Similarly, flagella are long, tail-like appendages that help certain cells, like sperm, move in an environment; for both of these structures, microtubules are necessary.

Detailed explanation-4: -Microfilaments and microtubules are key components of the cytoskeleton in eukaryotic cells. A cytoskeleton provides structure to the cell and connects to every part of the cell membrane and every organelle. Microtubules and microfilaments together allow the cell to hold its shape, and move itself and its organelles.
