    Microtubules are the thickest filaments that give cells shape by anchoring organelles and other parts. They serve as tracks for vesicles and other components to move within cells. Microtubules are stiff, hollow tubes that provide both structural support and facilitate movement and transport within cells.

    ORGANELLES FOR STRUCTURAL SUPPORT, MOVEMENT, AND COMMUNICATION BETWEEN CELLS

    CYTOSKELETONS

    Microtubules – filaments characterized to be lengthy and the thickest among the filaments.

    - They are stiff, hollow tubes that give the cell shape and serve as anchorage for the membrane-
    bound organelles and other cell parts.

    - They act as “tracks” for the movement of vesicles and other cell components.
