Cytoskeleton

The Cytoskeleton is a teeny-tiny human skeleton packed tightly within every cell in your body. As it is a skeleton, it is, likewise, very spooky, and should be treated with extreme caution. The Cytoskeleton was discovered by a whole army of nerds, and is credited with giving cells their shape, and scaring off enemy cells and viruses with their spookiness, hence making it one of the most elaborate and effective cellular defense mechanisms known to humanity. An estimated 30,000,000 viruses and pathogens are scared away from your white blood cells alone by spooky scary Cytoskeletons every day.

Structure

Cytoskeletons are comprised of 200+ little bones, each made of 1% actual bone, and 99% spooky Calcium. The most prominent features of a Cytoskeleton are the Cytospine, the Cytoribs, and the Cytoskull, which change composition to 100% spooky Calcium while preparing to scare off pathogens. The other Cytobones are pretty boring, and you don't hear much about them in textbooks.

Research

Cytoskeletons in all cells are so spooky that some Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEMs) are unable to picture them, as the electrons are often very scared of the Cytoskeleton, and don't touch it. Instead, Neutron Scanning Microscopes were created with the sole purpose of observing Cytoskeletons, although sub-par artistic illustrations exist predominantly as a compromise. In 2007, an uncredited biologist used a Neutron Scanning Microscope to spy on Cytoskeletons, like a cellular pervert, and observed a spooky Cytoskeleton leaping out of its parent cell, and making spooky dances at a sample of Zaire Ebolavirus, showing that Cytoskeletons are effectively symbiotic organisms, cohabitating with the other organelles in cells. This caused some controversy when it was first reported, however, the world of Biology has since accepted that Cytoskeletons are just cell-dependent symbiotes.
