Q

What is the function of the thoracic cavity?

A

Isolates the lungs from the rest of the body. Creates a specific pressure inside that is required for the lungs to function properly.

Q

What is the function of the cytoskeleton?

A

It is the cells framework.

17
Q

What are microfilaments and what is their function in the cell?

A

They are made of actin and anchor the cytoskeleton to integral proteins.

18
Q

What are intermediate filaments function in the cell?

A

They provide strength for the cell, stabilize organelle position, and transport materials within the cytosol.

19
Q

What is the function of microtubules in the cell?

A

Made of tubulin, they are the primary component of the cytoskeleton. They control the cells shape and aid in cell division and movement.

20
Q

What is the function of centrioles?

A

They aid in cell division using microtubules.

21
Q

What is the function of cilia?

A

They aid in cell movement, like flagella.

22
Q

What is the function of ribosomes?

A

They make proteins.
