Microtubules typically radiate outwards from the centre of the cell; a place called an MTOC or microtubule organizing centre. They are involved in kinetichore and spindle formation during mitosis. On the other hand actin filaments are found in the cell cortex just below the cell membrane and are involved in cell locomotion.

Fibers of the cytoskeleton are composed of primarily?

Fibers of the cytoskeleton are primarily composed of three types: microfilaments (actin filaments), intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Microfilaments are primarily made of actin, intermediate filaments consist of various proteins like keratins and lamins, while microtubules are made of tubulin protein subunits.
