The Cytoskeleton, Introduced
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The cytoskeleton is a network of protein fibers that maintains a cell's shape, anchors organelles, and moves cytoplasm, vesicles, or the whole cell.
Show
Removing every organelle from a cell would still leave this fiber network holding its shape and internal organization.
Watch for
The cytoskeleton is not one structure but three distinct fiber types, covered in the entries that follow.
