Learn about the structure and function of the three types of cytoskeletal filaments: actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. Explore how the cytoskeleton influences cell shape, movement, division, and transport in different cell types and organisms. Cytoskeleton, a system of filaments or fibers that is present in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells . The cytoskeleton organizes other constituents of the cell, maintains the cell’s shape, and is responsible for the locomotion of the cell itself and the movement of the various organelles within it. 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.
