Microtubules are located in three locations in the cell. They are:

1. Cytoplasmic microtubles which, as the name suggests is located in the cytoplasm.

2. Axonemal microtubules that are located in cilia and flagella

3. Basal bodies, which are structures located at the base of a cilium and contains microtubules.

Generally, microtubules originate from cytoplasmic organelles called centrioles. The region from which microtubules originate is called the microtubule organizing center.

The function of microfilaments in the cytoskeleton is to bear tension (pulling forces). Also, they help support/form the cells shape.

In the cytoplasm of the cell, near the neucleus....so only...during the mitosis(cell division) microtubles can help to expand and generate the cell division process.....

Microfilaments are found in the CYTOPLASM of all eukaryotic cells.

Biology is awesome, explore it.

What is a microtubule in a cell?

These are produced by centrioles that are located near the nucleus and they help cells divide. These produce the microtubules which make up the cytoskeleton (the thing which gives the cell support and prevents organelles from flying around).

Are microtubules an organelle?

Microtubules are cyclindrical shaped polymers that help maintain and stabilize cell structure. They also have a major role in the transportation of molecules within the cell. They are part of the cytoskeleton, and the cytoskeleton is considered to be an organelle. The microtubules are only a fraction of an organelle under the cytoskeleton.
