Centriole
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The centriole is a cytoplasmic structure in most eukaryote cells. It is involved in cell division and in the formation of cilia and flagella. Centrioles are not found in vascular plants and in most fungi.[1]
A pair of centrioles, arranged parallelly and surrounded by a mass of dense material constitutes the compound structure known as the centrosome.[2]
