            It is a network of protein fibers that extend through out the cytoplasm. It is also called as skeleton of cytoplasm.  

Composition

            It is composed of different types of proteins, like actin, troponin, myosin etc.  

Types

         Cytoskeleton is of three types, these are

1. Micofilaments

2. Microtubules

3. Intermediate filaments.

Function

              It is the streaming movement of cytoplasm which is controlled by cytoskeleton. It help in the transport of different organelles like ribosome and mitochondria to those area where they are needed.

2. Amoeboid movement

             Cytoskeleton help in amoeboid movement through which amoeba move towards sunlight or any other thing needed as food.

3. Maintain cell shape

            Cytoskeleton help in maintaining shape of cell.

4. Spindle fibers

          Cytoskeleton also help in the assembly and disassembly of spindle fibers during cell division.
