Cytoskeleton and Internal Organization of the Cell

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Cellular Organelles ((CORG))

Abstract

Cytoskeleton is the structure-forming component of the cell. It determines to a large degree the cell shape and distribution of other intracellular organelles and of the components of the plasma membrane. Cytoskeleton integrates various parts of the single cell and various cells into united structures. There are several levels of this integration.
