Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lamellipodia are thin, sheet-like extensions of the leading edge of a cell that are responsible for cell movement. They contain actin filaments and play a key role in cell motility. They do not contain microtubules and are not found in the basal lamina. They do not provide structural rigidity to cells, but rather allow cells to deform and move.
