What cytoskeleton component is also used for motion?

The cytoskeleton allows eukaryotic cells to move in a variety of ways by taking on different forms.

Because it aids in muscle contraction and the transformation of vertebrate embryos into different shapes, the cytoskeleton is also occasionally referred to as the cyclomusculature.

Three different kinds of protein filaments make up the cytoskeleton, which is found throughout a cell's cytoplasm.

Microtubules are proteins with a high density that are found in cilia, meristematic plant cells, and the dendrites and axons of nerve cells.

Microfilaments are actively involved in cytoplasmic streaming cyclosis, amoeboid motion, and are typically concentrated just beneath the cell membrane.

Intermediate filaments are involved in muscle contractions and form contractile units in muscle cells.

Microtubules are a component of the cytoskeleton that are also involved in motion.
