SKELETONS INSIDE AND OUT
Skeletal systems come in many forms. You have a skeleton inside of your body (endoskeleton) made up of bones.
skeleton -- Support structure in animals, against which the force of muscles acts.
skeletonize. To remove leaf tissue between the veins, leaving the network of veins intact.
soil profile. A vertical section of the soil through all its horizontal layers, extending into the parent material.
skeletonize - to remove soft tissue leaving harder structures in place; often leaf veins are left by skeletonizers feeding on soft tissue ...
skeleton
any structure present in an organism that maintains its shape and supports structures associated with the body.
Exoskeleton: A skeleton or supportive structure on the outside of an insect body.
Exotic: Introduced from another country or continent (e.g., introduced insect pest).
exoskeleton A hard, jointed, external covering that encloses the muscles and organs of an organism; typical of many arthropods including insects.
exothermic A reaction where the product is at a higher energy level than the reactants.
exoskeleton
A hard encasement on the surface of an animal, such as the shells of mollusks or the cuticles of arthropods, that provides protection and points of attachment for muscles.

cytoskeleton - protein lattice structure which gives shape to our cells.
daughter cell - one of two cells resulting from the division of a single cell.
Cytoskeleton (SYE-toe-SKEL-uh-tun) A collection of fibers that gives a cell shape and support and allows movement within the cell and, in some cases, by the cell as a whole.
cytoskeleton A three-dimensional network of microtubules and filaments that provides internal support for the cells, anchors internal cell structures, and functions in cell movement and division. PICTURE ...
Cytoskeleton
The cytoskeleton is a network of protein elements that extend through the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells.
Cytoskeleton Internal scaffolding of cells, made up of microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules, which enables cells to transport vesicles, change shape, and migrate.
exoskeleton A supporting structure secreted by ectoderm or epidermis; external, not enveloped by living tissue, as opposed to endoskeleton.

cytoskeleton - system of protein filaments in the cytoplasm of a eucaryotic cell that gives the cell shape and the capacity for directed movement.
Cytoskeleton: As its name implies, the cytoskeleton helps to maintain cell shape. But the primary importance of the cytoskeleton is in cell motility.
The cytoskeleton of the cell has three components: microtubules, microfilaments, and intermediate filaments. Microtubules look something like a straw. The tubulin protein subunits of microtubules associate in a cylindrical arrangement.
Cytoskeleton - network of microtubules that support and give structure to cell while aiding in intracellular transport
Cytosol - jelly-like material that contains the organelles between the nucleus and the plasma membrane ...
Microtubules, which are about 25 nanometers in diameter, form part of the cytoskeleton that gives structure and shape to a cell, and also serve as conveyor belts moving other organelles throughout the cytoplasm.
Many membrane-bound components that regulate actin cytoskeleton dynamics and cell-surface motility associate with PtdIns(4,5)P2-rich lipid rafts.
(Science: zoology) An amphipod crustacean; as, the skeleton screw (Caprel 1000 la). See sand screw, under Sand. Archimedes screw, compound screw, foot screw, etc. See Archimedes, Compound, Foot, etc.
We found many skeletons with the hands and the feet and the ends of the tails pulled off by predators and taken away.

The matrix of a cell that contains the ribosomes, the cytoskeleton and different aggregates of storage compounds. Nucleus, cytoplasm, plastids, mitochondria and membrane form the cell.

Proteins play a variety of roles in the cell, including structural (cytoskeleton), mechanical (muscle), biochemical (enzymes), and cell signaling (hormones). Proteins are also an essential part of diet.
