MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Intermediate filaments play the most important role in providing mechanical support to the plasma membrane where it comes into contact with other cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Microtubules are found in the interior of the cell where they maintain cell shape by resisting compressive forces. Intermediate filaments are found throughout the cell and hold organelles in place.

Detailed explanation-3: -Function: In accordance with microtubules, intermediate filaments are important to maintain the structure and shape of the cells. These filaments unlike the microtubules, resist tension among the cells.
