Answer:

They are thick, strong and made up of thousands of tubulin which are spiral in shape.

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cells, they have microtubules which are fibres serving as tracks for cell to cell transport and regulate the shape of a cell.

Microtubules are different from other cytoskeletal filaments because they possesses a cylindrical shape with the tube having a larger diameter of 20-25 nm as compared to microfilament that have a diameter of 3-6 nm.

Microtubules are made of subunits of proteins called tubulin named alpha and beta that is not present in other cytoskeletal filaments.

Janis tore a ligament in her ankle. Until the injury heals, she is at most risk for which of the following? dislocating bones lo
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is ''dislocating bones.''

Explanation:

When the bone " pops out" or dislodges from its place (joint), a dislocation occurs. An ankle dislocation, like any other joint, occurs when the 2 articular surfaces of the ankle separate, in this case when the talus ( together with the rest of the foot) " pops out of place" and is no longer in contact with the surface of the tibia-fibula. This leads to the complete breakdown of the ligaments that hold the joint in place, causing the bones to " pops out." Producing significant deformities in the affected joint.
