What structure aid in cell movement?

An inner cytoskeleton with hollow, protein microfilaments and connecting intermediate filaments make up the "backbone" of the cell that allows it to maintain it's structure. Whip like tails called flagella, and small, shorter version of flagella called cilia, help cells move. :)
