  1. The Cytoskeletonالهيكل الخلوي A network of fibresشبكة من الالياف that providestructural supportتدعيم to the cell. The cytoskeleton also functions in cell motilityتحرك الخلية and regulation. Microtubules and microfilaments It is made up of 3 types of fibers • Microfilaments • Microtubules • Intermediate filaments It has 3 main functions: • Provides mechanical support of the cell and keeps organelles in their fixed locations. • Helps move materials within the cell • Plays a major role in cell motility

  2. Microfilaments Cytoskeleton

  3. Intermediate filaments Microtubules Microfilaments ألياف متوسطة ألياف دقيقة أنيبيبات دقيقة Thick Thin Middle سميكة رفيعة متوسطة Cytoskeleton Responsible for cell motility, and separation of chromosomes during cell division. (Tubulin protein) Support cell motility and transport materials within the cell. (Actin protein) Reinforcing the cell shape and fixing position of organelles. (Fibrous protein)

  4. The cytoskeleton is dynamic, dismantling يتفككin one part and reassembling يتجمعin another to change cell shape. • The cytoskeleton also plays a major role in cell motility حركة الخليةby interacting with motor proteins. البروتين الحركي. • Motor proteins are able to move along the surface of a suitable substrate (powered by ATP). • Motor proteins are the driving force behind most active transport of proteins and vesicles in the cytoplasm Cell Movement • Crawling is accomplished via actin filaments and the protein myosin. • In cilia and flagella motor proteins pull components of the cytoskeleton past each otherعكس بعضهم. • This is also true in muscle cells.

  5. Transport vesicle ATP ADP+Pi ATP ADP+Pi Motor proteins Microtubule Motor proteins Motor proteinsare a class of molecular motors that are able to move along the surface of a suitable substrate. They are powered by the hydrolysis of ATP and convert chemical energy into mechanical work. MOTOR PROTEINS "WALKS" ALONG A MICROTUBULE TRACK

  6. Interactions of motor proteins and the cytoskeleton circulates materials within the cell. • The cytoskeleton may transmit mechanical signals that rearrange the nucleoli and other structures. • Motor molecules also carry vesicles or organelles to various destinations إلى أماكن مختلفة provided by the cytoskeleton.
