What is the system of microscopic protein fibers that supports the shape of the cell called?
Cytoskeleton.
The system of microscopic protein fibers that supports the shape of the cell is called?
All cells, except those of most bacteria, contain components of the cytoskeleton. They help the cell remain rigid but also help it move and change its shape when instructed to do so. Components of the cytoskeleton also enable cilia, flagella and sperm to move, cell organelles to be moved and positioned, and muscles to function. During cell division these components also assist by pulling the daughter chromosomes to opposite ‘poles’ in the dividing process. Throughout the life of the cell various molecules and cargo containing vesicles are transported around the cell by motor proteins. These move along the protein filaments using them as rail road tracts rather like a railway locomotive runs on.
Structure of cytoskeleton?
within cytoplasm often suspended in a system of microscopic fibers
What is The name of the Microscopic nerve fibers in the myocardium?
the microscopic nerve fibers are called chemocytes
Where is protein broken down in the digestive system?
muscle fibers
Is it true the structures inside a cell are suspended in a system of microscopic fibers called cytoplasm?
its cytoskeleton.
What supports the bodies of most sponges?
elastic fibers
What characterizes Alexander disease?
All three forms of ALX are unified by the presence of Rosenthal fibers (RF), microscopic protein aggregates that are found in astrocytes in the brain and spinal cord.

elastic fibers
What is microscopic threadlike structures found in skeletal muscle fibers?
myofilaments
What protein fiber that forms the cell supporting network?
The meshlike network of protein fibers that supports the shape of the cell is either cellulose (cell wall) or the cytoskeleton (inside).
