cytoskeleton

Examples of cytoskeleton in the following topics:

• Adherens Junctions

  • Adherens junctions provide strong mechanical attachments between adjacent cells through the linkage of cytoplasmic face with cytoskeleton.
  • The actin microfilaments of the cytoskeleton (the internal skeleton of the cell). 

• Microscopic Anatomy

  • Desmosomes, which bind adhesion proteins to the cytoskeleton within cells, thus connecting the cells.

• Tight Junctions

  • Zonula occludens (ZO) are proteins that help link the tight junction to each cell's internal skeleton (cytoskeleton).

• Spinal Cord Grey Matter and Spinal Roots

  • These are cationic channels whose activity appears to be regulated by the proper functioning of the cytoskelton and cytoskeleton associated proteins.

• Specific T-Cell Roles

  • The cytotoxic enzymes and proteases travel to their target cell through a microtubule cytoskeleton.
