What is another word for Centrioles?
Pronunciation: [sˈɛntɹɪˌə͡ʊlz] (IPA) 
The term "centrioles" refers to small cylindrical structures found in animal cells. These structures are involved in cell division, and play a crucial role in the formation of the spindle fibers that separate the duplicated chromosomes during mitosis. There are several synonyms for the term "centrioles," including "microtubule-organizing centers" (MTOCs), "basal bodies," and "centrosomes." MTOCs are responsible for organizing the microtubules that make up the spindle fibers, while basal bodies serve as the foundation for the undulipodia and cilia found in some cells. Centrosomes, on the other hand, are composed of two centrioles and are important in regulating cell division and maintaining cell structure.
