Recomended Study Terms For midterms

Microfillaments:

 The interaction between actin and myosine filaments involved in cell motility.

Cytoplasmic streaming in plants and protists

Muscle cell contractions in mammals 

Microtubules:

 cell motility: in the form of flagella 

Vesicle transport: Vesicles are transported along microtubule highways in cells

Mitotic spindle: Moves chromosomes during cell division 

Cytoskeleton:

Responsible for the distribution of organelles. Cellular scaffolding maintains cell shape and flexibility. It's composed of microtubules and microfilaments

extracellular matrix

is composed of three different proteins. Collagen,fibroectin and proteoglycans. It provides support and anchorage for the cell. It helps regulate cell behaviour and acts as a signalling path between cells via integrins
