Centrosome (Organelle)

A non-membrane-bound organelle found in animal cells, serving as the main microtubule-organizing center and playing a crucial role in cell division.

Key Functions:

• Organizes microtubules and forms the spindle poles during cell division.
• Initiates microtubule growth and regulates their number and location.
• Involved in cell motility, polarity, and intracellular transport.

Interacting Systems & Components:

• Organelle (type of)
• Microtubule (organizes)
• Cell Division (involved in)
• Cytoplasm (located within)
