The cytoskeleton has several primary functions. The first and most obvious is it acts as an interior skeleton that supports the rest of the cell. What is another function of the cytoskeleton?
◦ It creates a durable outer covering to increase the strength and rigidity of the cell.
◦ It provides a series of tracks along which vesicles can move throughout the cell.
◦ It provides a communication network where chemo-electrical signals can be sent from one area of the cell to another.
◦ It connects one cell to another.
