Cytoskeleton


Cytoskeleton is a complex protein network found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Cytoskeleton provides a cell of reinforcing plasma membranes with a proper shape which works best against lysis and vesiculation. Cytoskeleton can control changes in cell shape. Cytoskeleton responds positively to cell motility. Cytoskeleton also allows large amount material transportation. Synapsis is a typical exocytosis which permits neutrons to rapidly signal to each other. Any damage to cytoskeletal components will lead to diseases like hemolytic anemia, duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophies. In a cytoskeleton, common elements can be incorporated into widely different structures in various parts of a cell. The three important types of filaments found in the cytoskeletons of cells are microbules (tubilin rich), microfilaments (polymerized actin) and intermediate filaments. These filaments are essentially polar helical rods.
