  2. These are the organelles in the cell which contains centrioles.
  3. When a cell divides, the centrosomes assist.
  4. They keep track of the chromosomal count while the cell divides.
  5. Additionally, they promote phagocytosis, which causes changes in the morphology of the cell membrane.
  6. Each centriole consists of a cylindrical array of short microtubules.
  7. A pair of centriole is surrounded by a collection of proteins visible in some electron micrographs as a centriole matrix, an amorphous cloud around the centriole.
