![This is a neuron labeled blue for tubulin, green for F-actin, and red for presynaptic protein. Basically, these are all structural parts of a neuron that create its location in space and in relation to other neurons. Tubulin makes up microtubules. Microtubules and actin are the main components of the cytoskeleton (cell skeleton- does the same thing for cells as your bones do for you). Presynaptic proteins are located at the synapses with other cells and serve a variety of functions- here, you can see how many synapses this neuron has with other neurons by the clusters or spots of ‘red’.
