Main functions of cytoskeleton • Determines the shape of the cell • Anchores organelles • Movement of organelles • Tensile strength • Movement of chromosomes • Polarity • Motility
Cytoskeleton • Microfilaments (actin) • Microtubuli (tubulin) • Intermedier filaments • Motor proteins • Actin and microtubule associated proteins
