As the name points out, the cytoskeleton is responsible for the support of the normal shape of the cell; it too acts as a facilitator for substance transport across the cell and for the movement of cellular organelles. For illustration, the sliding among actin-containing filaments and the protein myosin makes pseudopods. In cells of the phagocytic defense system, similar to macrophages, cytoskeleton is accountable for the plasma membrane projections which engulf the external material to be attacked and interiorized by the cell.
