The mitotic spindle is a structure composed of microtubules, involved in the segregation of chromosomes during cell division.

Spindle Fibers

Protein structures that segregate chromosomes to opposite ends of a cell during cell division.

Centrioles

Cylindrical structures found in animal cells that play a crucial role in organizing microtubules during cell division.
