centrioles
[noun]
Eukaryotic cells depend on organelles known as centrioles to help organize microtubules during cell reproduction (mitosis and meiosis). The centrioles are made of tubulin arranged in a tube-like shape. The centrioles are often in a pair and are arranged at right angles to one another, forming a centrosome.
