- Microfilaments are one out of the three main kinds of fibers that make up the cytoskeleton

- They are solid rods that are made up of globular proteins called actin that are made up in double chains

- They form a 3D network in the plasma membrane that help suppose the cell's shape

- They are involved in cell movements

- Contain actin subunits

- They are involved in the cause of muscle contraction alongside with thicker filaments that are made of motor proteins myosin

-Microfilaments is about 7nm thick [(seven nanometers) according to the textbook)]
