 Cytoskeleton
The cytoskeleton is a structure that helps cells maintain their shape and
internal organization, and it also provides mechanical support that enables
cells to carry out essential functions like division and movement. There is no
single cytoskeletal component.

Cyto- = prefix denoting cell or cytoplasm

 Cytoskeleton

cytoskeleton (literally, “cell skeleton”), which not only supports the plasma
membrane and gives the cell an overall shape, but also aids in the correct
positioning of organelles, provides tracks for the transport of vesicles, and
(in many cell types) allows the cell to move.

MICROTUBULES
 Microtubules
Microtubules are microscopic, hollow tubes made of alpha and beta tubulin
that are a part of the cell's cytoskeleton.” Microtubules extend throughout the
cell providing it with proper shape and keeping the organelles in place.
