Cell cortex

The cell cortex, also known as the actin cortex, cortical cytoskeleton or actomyosin cortex, is a specialized thin layer of cross-linked actomyosins attached to the cell membrane. In protists this part of the cytoskeleton is also known as the ectoplasm, the outermost part of the cytoplasm, contrasted with endoplasm. It functions as a modulator of…
