Microtúbulos. Son un componente del citoesqueleto que tiene un papel organizador interno crucial en todas las células eucariotas, y a algunas también les permiten moverse. Los microtúbulos tienen numerosas funciones, como establecer la disposición espacial de determinados orgánulos, formar un sistema de raíles mediante el cual se pueden transportar vesículas o macromoléculas entre compartimentos celulares, son imprescindibles para la división celular puesto que forman el huso mitótico y son esenciales para la estructura y función de los cilios y de los flagelos. 2, record 1, Spanish, - microt%C3%BAbulo
