What is a network of long protein strands in the cytosol that helps maintain the shape and size of a eukaryotic cell?

The network of long protein strands in the cytosol that helps maintain the shape and size of a eukaryotic cell is the cytoskeleton. It is made up of three main types of filaments: microtubules, actin filaments (microfilaments), and intermediate filaments. These filaments provide structural support, help with cell motility, and are involved in various cellular processes such as cell division and intracellular trafficking.
