Microtubule
Videos
Microtubules are biopolymers of tubulin that form part of the cytoskeleton to provide structure and shape to a eukaryotic cell. Microtubules can be as long as 50 micrometres, as wide as 23 to 27 nm an
Components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton include: nuclei (blue), microtubules (green), and actin filaments (red).

Tubulin Infographic
Microtubules are one of the cytoskeletal filament systems in eukaryotic cells. The microtubule cytoskeleton is involved in the transport of material within cells, carried out by motor proteins that move on the surface of the microtubule.
Orchestrated objective reduction is a controversial theory postulating that consciousness originates at the quantum level inside neurons. The mechanism is held to be a quantum process called objective
