What is centrisome?

A centrosome is a cellular structure that acts as the main organizing center for microtubules in animal cells. It consists of two centrioles, which are cylindrical structures made up of microtubules, and is involved in processes such as cell division, where it helps to organize the mitotic spindle. Centrosomes play a crucial role in maintaining the cell's shape and facilitating intracellular transport. Additionally, they are important for the proper distribution of chromosomes during cell division.
