Within cells, there is an intricate network of organelles and proteins that all have unique functions. These organelles allow the cell to function properly. The cytoskeleton is a cellular "scaffolding” or "skeleton" contained within a cell's cytoplasm and is made out of protein. The cell skeleton, unlike our own rigid skeleton, is the tool by which nearly all dynamic processes take place within the cell and by the whole cell. Key dynamic events of cell shape, surface specializations, cell division, development, adhesion, migration and intracellular transport can all be related to the cell cytoskeleton.
