Summary Introduction
To review:
The organelle important in maintaining the cell shape.
Introduction:
The cytoskeleton is a complex network of rods that are not covered by a membrane and run through the cytosol aiding in the linkage of cell organelles with the help of accessory proteins. There are three types of cellular cytoskeleton rods, namely microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules.
