An inner cytoskeleton with hollow, protein microfilaments and connecting intermediate filaments make up the "backbone" of the cell that allows it to maintain it's structure. Whip like tails called flagella, and small, shorter version of flagella called cilia, help cells move. :)

Cytoskeleton, composed of microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules, plays a major role in cell movement. Actin filaments provide mechanical support and generate forces for cell motility, while microtubules serve as tracks for intracellular transport and aid in the movement of cilia and flagella.
