Now let's move on to our intermediate filament. The intermediate filament has an intermediate thickness. It's about 10. Several different types of proteins are found within our intermediate filament. Now, the special thing about intermediate filaments is that not only are they found within a cytoplasm they're also found within the nucleoplasm within our nucleus and they're also found outside our cell. So the function of intermediate filaments is to give our cell tensile strength and increase the stability of our cell structure.
