My encounter with the CYTOSKELETON!

The cytoskeleton is in the cytoplasm and I decided to visit a small network of it, before heading to the Mitochondria. It is a network of streets (or as the citizens say, fibers) that help to maintain the shape of the cell, while supporting it!

One type of road is the microtubule. These are hollow tunnels that support and shape Cell, plus they are roads that organells can go through!

Here is a picture I took of the first roadway.

The second type of road is the microfilament. These are solid roads that help to contract muscles and allow things to travel.
Here is a picture I took of the amazing road ways!

A type of road support with workers is the intermediate filaments. These hold the roads in place and keep them undamaged!
This holds the roads in place, so they do not become damaged.
