Microtubules function in holding other organelles in place, maintaining cell shape and rigidity, and directing organelle movement. Centrioles and cilia are made up of microtubules and also have some of these functions, but they are not as broad in their roles as microtubules. Flagella are also made up of microtubules but are primarily involved in cell movement. The Golgi apparatus is involved in packaging and sorting proteins, and not in holding organelles in place or maintaining cell shape.
