* Centrioles: These small, cylindrical structures are involved in cell division, specifically the formation of microtubules that help separate chromosomes.
* Lysosomes: These are membrane-bound organelles that contain enzymes capable of breaking down cellular waste products, pathogens, and even worn-out organelles.
* Flagella: These long, whip-like structures are used for locomotion in some animal cells, particularly sperm cells.
* Cilia: These are short, hair-like structures that can move in a coordinated manner to propel fluids or particles past the cell surface.
* Gap Junctions: These specialized channels that connect adjacent animal cells, allowing for the direct exchange of small molecules and ions.
Important Note: While these structures are typically found only in animal cells, there are some exceptions. For example, some protists (unicellular organisms) may also have flagella or cilia.
