| Smooth muscle cells possess a contractile apparatus consisting of actin and myosin filaments and the cytoskeleton. |
| Dynamic rearrangements in the actin cytoskeleton underlie a wide range of cell behaviours. |
| The cytoskeleton is the overall name given to protein filaments and motor proteins in the cell. |
| In addition to acting as a cellular scaffold, the cytoskeleton has roles in organelle transport, cell division, motility, and signaling. |
| The cytoskeleton acts as a "track" on which cells can move organelles, chromosomes and other things. |
| The cytoskeleton of a cell helps provide shape, strength, and an organised structure to the cell. |
