Cytoskeleton: structure and function

Microtubules, intermediate filaments and microfilaments are all part of the cell's skeleton, which is also known as the cytoskeleton. In this video, we will talk about the structure and function of the cytoskeleton.

We will cover the following:
00:00 Introduction and Definition
01:03 Functions of the cytoskeleton
02:37 Microtubules
04:54 Intermediate filaments
06:56 Microfilaments
08:25 How they all connect

Dear João, what an amazing video! I just used it earlier today to make my class more interesting and the students loved it. It has the perfect balance between delivering the information and catching the audience attention. Congratulations! However, I'd like to suggest you a tiny correction to make your media even better: dynein and microtubules do play a crucial role in flagella operation, but in eukaryotic cells, such as sperm cells. Bacterial flagella are made up by several copies of a protein called flagellin. Prokaryotic flagella are attached to the bacterial cell envelope by proteic rings wich are connected to the flagellin filament by a hook. And their operation rely on energy that comes from the proton gradient across cell membrane. Thank you for sharing your great work with us!

One of the best videos on the cytoskeleton in terms of explanatory capability!

These are a savior for my micro bio class. Great, fun videos with relatable analogies and entertaining narration. Thank you!

[sonaliieee]

Within 10 mins i got my whole concept cleared. Thank you so much.

I'm a physics major and diving into biophysics field without ANY biology knowledge. This is the MOST entertaining and informative video I've seen on cytoskeleton and filaments on youtube (since I'm gonna do research on myosin this is a requirement to know I suppose). Thank you for making these very cool and high quality teaching videos like this, you're a life saver!

Great video...A medical student from Ghana and you just earned a subscriber

This is the best viedo on Cytoskeleton on YouTube

[LauraLee-wn]

You are literally the best for Biology. I ace my tests because you explain it so beautifully it's so crazy. I hope your channel becomes big you deserve so much attention

[Medi]

You're technique of explaining is chef's kiss, like I understood everything perfectly I don't know how to show my gratitude, thank you soo much I love you 😭😭😭😭😭

Blud sounds zesty af, but regardless great explanation

[kiancanale]

A million thanks, sir! I hope you have a nice breakfast, lunch, and dinner as always.

i am so glad i came across this channel!! i am in the first year of Pre-med and these explanations are just Mind-boggling, love the visuals and your amazing teaching skills.. i am now on a streak of watching your videos to understand my studies better and i couldn't be more happier with the results..

Thanks a bunch, Joao!

[VibishaB]

That was a really good video!Like literally those animations just makes it so clear as to how things actually work....good job!🙌

[CDNL.]

This is the first video that has helped me understand the cytoskeleton😭 Thank you!!:)

[gyanichele]

I'm speechless by seeing your explanation capability, Sir... An outstanding video I have ever seen on youtube... Thank you so much Sir! ❤

[navoneel]

Thanks Mr. Joao, I have certainly enjoy the animations, visuals and the fun methodology that you have used to create videos on this channel, they are precise and to the point, but more importantly, they are easier to comprehend!
Thank you!

[garimadubey]

The Best and most amazingly explained video on this topic. Hats off sir, thank you for such a great explanation. 🙌💫

Why such a great channel is so underrated 🥺
