What Structure Carries out Cell Movement

In addition to playing this structural role, the cytoskeleton is responsible for cell movements. These include not only the movements of entire cells, but also the internal transport of organelles and other structures (such as mitotic chromosomes) through the cytoplasm.

Which structures are involved in cell movement?

Cytoskeleton. Within the cytoplasm there is network of protein fibers known as the cytoskeleton. This structure is responsible for both cell movement and stability. The major components of the cytoskeleton are microtubules, intermediate filaments, and microfilaments.

What structure controls movement in and out of the cell?

The cell membrane separates the material outside the cell, extracellular, from the material inside the cell, intracellular. It maintains the integrity of a cell and controls passage of materials into and out of the cell.
