These are hollow cylinders and are the thickest of the cytoskeleton structures and most commonly made of filaments which are polymers of tubulin.

• microtubles

• intermeadiate filaments

• microfilaments

• cytoplasm

These are made of two thin actin chains that are twisted around one another. They are found in almost every cell, and are numerous in muscle cells and in cells that move by changing shape
