Centriole

What is  Centriole?

 A Centriole is a small cylindrical organelle made of made of nine sets of microtubules that help in cell division. It is a part of the centrosome that helps arrange microtubules in the body. It is the main thing that makes and holds microtubules in the cell. Centrioles are found in most eukaryotic cells. Microtubules come out of each centriole then use the centriole to hold the base of each microtubule.

 

Centriole Function

The main function of centriole is cell division in animals. The centrioles help the formation of spindle fibers that divide the chromosomes during mitosis. Another function of centrioles is celiogenesis the building of cilia and flagella on the surface of cells. Cilia and flagella assist the cell to move. each centrosome has two microtubules that are at the centriole. The centriole holds the microtubules that come out of it and have the factors that are needed to make more tubules.

 

Unique Characteristics of Centrioles

 

You will usually find them near the nucleus but they cannot be seen when the cell is not dividing. Animal cells are the only cells that have centrioles, Centrioles microtubules play the part of the cytoskeleton.There are some animal cells that do not have centrioles and can still divide.
