1. Centrosome is an organelle usually containing two cylindrical structures called centrioles.
2. Both the centrioles in a centrosome lie parallel to each other in which each
has an organisation like the cartwheel.
3. Centrioles are made up of nine evenly spaced peripheral fibrils of tubulin protein
where each of the peripheral fibril is a triplet.
4. The central part of the proximal region of the centriole is also proteinaceous and called the hub.
