The cytoskeleton is a cellular "scaffolding" or "skeleton" contained within the cytoplasm. The cytoskeleton is present in all eukaryotic cells, It is a dynamic structure that maintains cell shape, and also has been known to protect the cell, enables cellular motion, and plays important roles in both intracellular transport and cellular division.
