hücre iskeleti
Hücrenin şeklini, esnekliğini ve hareketini sağlayan demet ya da ağ şeklindeki filament topluluğu. Bu mikrofilamentler bir proteinden (aktin) oluşur. Başlıcaları miyofilamentler, mikrotubüller ve intermediyer filamentlerdir

cytoskeletal
Hücre iskeleti
İngilizce - İngilizce
A cellular structure like a skeleton, contained within the cytoplasm
(Biyoloji) A microscopic network of protein filaments and tubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells, giving them shape and coherence
parts of the cell that give it structure and hold things together - typically proteins
a network of filaments that give structure to the cell and act as channels for some transport
a microscopic network of actin filaments and microtubules in the cytoplasm of many living cells that gives the cell shape and coherence
a system of fine filaments which cross the cell in all directions, helping toand keep or change its shape There are three main types of filaments; in order of decreasing size they are, microtubules, microfilaments and intermediate filaments
(cyto = cell)
The cytoskeleton is a network of fibers running throughout the matrix of living cells that provides a framework for organelles, anchors the cell membrane, facilitates cellular movement, and provides a suitable surface for chemical reactions to take place
An integrated protein framework within eukaryotic cells that provides shape, internal spatial organization, and motility
the internal scaffolding of cells The cytoskeleton determines cell shape, organizes structures within cells, and helps cells and growth cones of developing axons move
Integrated system of molecules within eukaryotic cells which provides them with shape, internal spatial organization, motility, and may assist in communication with other cells and the environment Red blood cells, for instance, would be spherical instead of flat if it were not for their cytoskeleton
Part of cell responsible for its shape
{i} staging structure of the cell cytoplasm
The framework of protein filaments in a cell Cytoskeleton is a poor name as it is not rigid The proteins comprising the main structure of the cytoskeleton are muscle proteins and changing the name from cytoskeleton to cytosinew would be better
The structural support of the cell
System of microscopic filaments or fibres, present in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells (see eukaryote), that organizes other cell components, maintains cell shape, and is responsible for cell locomotion and for movement of the organelles within it. Three major types of filaments make up the cytoskeleton: actin filaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. Actin filaments occur as constantly changing bundles of parallel fibres; they help determine cell shape, help the cell adhere to surfaces, help the cell move, and assist in cell division during mitosis. Intermediate filaments are very stable structures that form the cell's true skeleton; they anchor the nucleus within the cell and give the cell its elastic properties
