1. Cell Division: Centriole helps in cell division. It plays a special role in cell division.
2. Mucous fibers production: During cell division, it produces mucous fibers. In the prometaphase state, the nucleus is formed. It acts as a carrier of chromosomes.
3. Aster-rays: It produces aster-rays during cell division. Aster rays are formed during prometaphase in animal cells.
4. Polar movement of chromosomes: It helps in the marginal movement of chromosomes. During anaphase, the cytoplasm contracts and the chromosomes move towards the poles.
5. Formation of microtubules: It produces microtubules. Microtubules form the cytoskeleton.
6. Sperm formation: It forms the tail of the sperm. As a result spermatozoa become motile.
7. Formation of flagella: Cilia and flagella form the basal body.
