Added to this they also help in determining the shape of the cell, movement of the cell, and transportation of the cytoskeleton structures play an very important role in the direction of cell division and differentiation. Many of the components also help in chromosomal movement and cytokinesis.
Most eukaryotic cells contain a complex network of protein fibers called the cytoskeleton. It forms a framework for the movement of organelles around the cytoplasm-most of the organelles are attached to the cytoskeleton. The network consists of protein microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. The cytoskeleton provides an important structural framework for: 1  Cell shape. 2  For cells without cell walls, the cytoskeleton determines the shape of the cell. 3  This is one of the functions of the intermediate filaments. 4  Cell movement.
