Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Microtubules form cilia and flagella and are also responsible for the formation of the bipolar mitotic spindle. Actin filaments underlie the plasma membrane of animal cells and form dynamic structures such as filopodia. The nuclear lamina is an example of structures formed by intermediate filaments to provide the cell interior with mechanical strength.
