Cytoskeleton: structure and function

Microtubules, intermediate filaments and microfilaments are all part of the cell's skeleton, which is also known as the cytoskeleton. In this video, we will talk about the structure and function of the cytoskeleton.
We will cover the following:
00:00 Introduction and Definition
01:03 Functions of the cytoskeleton
02:37 Microtubules
04:54 Intermediate filaments
06:56 Microfilaments
08:25 How they all connect

Dear João, what an amazing video! I just used it earlier today to make my class more interesting and the students loved it. It has the perfect balance between delivering the information and catching the audience attention. Congratulations! However, I'd like to suggest you a tiny correction to make your media even better: dynein and microtubules do play a crucial role in flagella operation, but in eukaryotic cells, such as sperm cells. Bacterial flagella are made up by several copies of a protein called flagellin. Prokaryotic flagella are attached to the bacterial cell envelope by proteic rings wich are connected to the flagellin filament by a hook. And their operation rely on energy that comes from the proton gradient across cell membrane. Thank you for sharing your great work with us!

[@JoaosLab]

Dear Robson, a million thanks for your kind message and for your feedback. You are absolutely right! I apologize for this slip of the pen. I made a note so we make this correction in the future when we redo/revamp the video. In the meantime, I will pin your comment so it is visible to everyone. Again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind message. Constructive feedback goes a long way. Plus I am super honored to know that you have shown the video in your class. That's exactly why we work so hard on these videos! ❤🙌

I was just reading my Bio ncert. In the book, on 5 lines were given about cytoskeleton. But, since it was a very interesting topic , I decided to search about it and found your video. The way of explaining is really good and helpful. You're a great teacher. Your students will be lucky😁. Thanks for such a good😊. explanation 😊😊

Imagine this video created by no one, no one created this module..! It all happened accidentally...! Couldn't believe...? So how can anyone deny the existence of Creator of the Universe who has placed everything at its perfect place...! So which of the favours of your Lord would you deny? Indeed our Lord is only one Lord...
