Centrioles are a cell organelle which are located in animal cells. They are made of 9 sets of microtubules, which are in groups of 3. There are two centrioles in each cell, and together with dense matter they create a centrosome. The centrioles are perpendicular to each other. They are important in the organization on the cell. Their most important role in a cell is when the cell divides. The two centrioles split and move in opposite directions from each other outwards from the nucleus. They produce mitotic spindle which is responsible for separating or pulling replicated chromosomes to the two daughter cells.
