microtubule-organizing centre
1organizing centre — See microtubule organizing centre …
2cell centre — Microtubule organizing centre (MTOC) of the cell, the pericentriolar region …
3cell polarity — (1) In epithelial cells the differentiation of apical and basal specializations. In many epithelia the apical and basolateral regions of plasma membrane differ in lipid and protein composition, and are isolated from one another by tight junctions …
4centriole — Organelle of animal cells that is made up of two orthogonally arranged cylinders each with nine microtubule triplets composing the wall. Almost identical to basal body of cilium. The pericentriolar material, but not the centriole itself, is the… …
5nucleation — A general term used in polymerization or assembly reactions where the first steps are energetically less favoured than the continuation of growth. Polymerization is much faster if a pre formed seed is used to nucleate growth. (eg. microtubule… …

8aster — Star shaped cluster of microtubules radiating from the polar microtubule organizing centre at the start of mitosis …
9centrosome — The microtubule organizing centre which, in animal cells, surrounds the centriole, and which will divide to organize the two poles of the mitotic spindle. By directing the assembly of a cell s skeleton, this organelle controls division, motility… …
10kinetochore — Multilayered structure, a pair of which develop on the mitotic chromosome, adjacent to the centromere, and to which spindle microtubules attach but not at the end normally associated with a microtubule organizing centre …
