Actomyosin

Cytoskeleton
Intermediate Filaments
- Crisscross from the nuclear
envelope to
the cell membrane
- Participate in some cell-cell
and
cell-matrix junctions

Cytoskeleton
Intermediate Filaments

Vimentins - the structural

support of
many cells
Keratin - in skin cells, hair
and nails
Neurofilaments - neural cells
Lamin - structural support to
the nuclear

Cytoskeleton
Microtubules
They play key roles in :
Intracellular transport (they
transport
organelles like mitochondria
or vesicles.)
the axoneme of cilia and
flagella
the mitotic spindle
