The cytoskeleton is a network of fibers composed of proteins contained within a cell`s cytoplasm. Although the name implies the cytoskeleton to be stable, it is a dynamic structure, parts of which are constantly destroyed, renewed or newly constructed. In most cells of all domains of life (archaea, bacteria, eukaryotes) a cytoskeleton is found (n....

General term for the internal components of animal cells which give them structural strength and motility: plant cells and bacteria use an extracellular cell wall instead. The major components of cytoskeleton are the microfilaments (of actin), microtubules (of tubulin) and intermediate filament systems in cells.
