Intermediate filaments reinforce the shape of cells and fix positions of certain organelles.
Intermediate filaments support the cells shape, so it can perform special functions. Various types of intermediate filaments can function together as the permanent framework of the cell.

Intermediate filaments are generally considered the most stable among the three cytoskeletal elements (microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments). They are more resistant to changes in cell structure and provide structural support and stability to the cell.

The types of filaments found in eukaryotic cells are actin filaments (microfilaments), intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Actin filaments are involved in cell movement and structure, intermediate filaments provide mechanical support to the cell, and microtubules are important for cell division and intracellular transport.
The cytoskeleton is made out of microtubes- specifically intermediate filaments and actin filaments.
There are three parts.Micro tubules,micro filaments and intermediate filaments are compartments.
There are three parts.They are micro tubules,micro filaments and intermediate filaments.
Intermediate Filaments (IFs) are part of a cells cytoskeleton along with Microfilaments and Microtubules. Intermediate Filaments are intermediate in size compared to MFs and MTs. They are also more durable and stable than the others. They are mainly used in cellular adhesion and other specialized functions in cells.
The three protein fibers found in the cytoskeleton are actin filaments (microfilaments), intermediate filaments, and microtubules. They play key roles in providing structure and support to the cell, facilitating cell movement, and aiding in cell division and intracellular transport.
