stratum corneum
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.
Interactions between actin and myosin filaments of the sarcomere are responsible for muscle contractions. The I bands contain only thin (actin) filaments, whereas the A bands contain thick (myosin) filaments.
Microfilaments contain actin filaments. They are the thinnest filaments of the cytoskeleton, which is a structure found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
Microtubules, Intermediate Filaments, and M icrofilaments
stratum corneum
Stratum Spinosum The Stratum Spinosum is several cell layers thick. These cells contain a weblike system of intermediate filaments, mainly tension-resisting bundles of pre-keratin filaments, which span thir cytosol to attach to desmosomes.
Possible filaments of lighting bulbs and components of microwave ovens - in very low concentration.

Actin Filaments (Microfilaments) Microtubules Intermediate Filaments Those are the three major cytoskeleton filaments in eukaryotics cells.
The cytoskeletal filaments are microtubules.
Actin filaments
thick filaments and thin filaments
There more thin filaments than thick filaments in smooth muscle. The ratio is of the thin to thick filaments in the smooth muscle is approximately 15:1.
Thick Filaments
Thin filaments consist primarily of the protein actin, coiled with nebulin filaments. Thick filaments consist primarily of the protein myosin, held in place by tit in filaments.
Interactions between actin and myosin filaments of the sarcomere are responsible for muscle contractions. The I bands contain only thin (actin) filaments, whereas the A bands contain thick (myosin) filaments.
