Answer:

The difference between the microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules are stated below.

Explanation:

  • Microfilaments:
  1. They are made up of two chains made up of monomeric globular proteins called actin. The chains are coiled around each other.
  2. They have a diameter of about 7 nanometre.
  3. They help in cellular movement.
  • Intermediate Filaments:
  1. They form strands which are made up of fibrous proteins like keratin, vimentin, desmin.
  2. They have a diameter which ranges from 8 nanometre to 10 nanometre.
  3. They have structural function and are required to maintain the cell shape and organelle position.
  • Microtubules:
  1. They are formed when the globular proteins, alpha-tubulin and beta-tubulin form dimer and undergo polymerisation.
  2. They have a diameter of about 25 nanometre.
  3. They form the structural components of flagella, cilia and centrioles. They prevent cell compression.

jasenka [17]

Answer:

Myelin sheath

Explanation:

Myelin sheath cover the axon of neurons and act as insulator for the faster transmission of signals.

Each axon is covered by multiple myelin sheaths and the gap between myelin sheath are known as Nodes of Ranvier.

In CNS myelin sheath is composed of glial cell called as oligodendrocytes and in PNS the myelin sheath is composed of Sachwann cells (glial cells).
