MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -What is Cytoskeleton? The cytoskeleton is the network of fibres forming the eukaryotic cells, prokaryotic cells and archaeans. These fibres in the eukaryotic cells contain a complex mesh of protein filaments and motor proteins that help in cell movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cytoskeleton is a complex, dynamic network of interlinking protein filaments present in the cytoplasm of all cells, including those of bacteria and archaea. In eukaryotes, it extends from the cell nucleus to the cell membrane and is composed of similar proteins in the various organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cytoskeleton has three different types of protein elements. From narrowest to widest, they are the microfilaments (actin filaments), intermediate filaments, and microtubules.

Detailed explanation-4: -All eukaryotic cells, including plants, animals, fungi and protists have a cytoskeleton. Even prokaryotes have cytoskeletal proteins, but the components are different than eukaryotic cells.
