The centrosome is a place inside the cell where microtubles are formed. inside the cell centrosome there are centrioles wich are made up of a ring of nine microtubules. these centrioles are only found inside animal cells. plant centrosomes function very similar to the animal centrosomes except for the fact that they do not have centrioles. They also play an important role in mitosis.

centrioles are cylinders composed of 9 tubes bound together, each with 3 tubules. They come in pairs of 2, and are always sitting at 90 degree angles from each other. They are located near the nucleus, and create the spinde fibers used in cell division.
