The centrosome is the main place where cell microtubules get organized. Centrosome usually contains two cylindrical structure called centrioles. Centrioles are composed of grouping of microtubules arranged in $9 + 3$ pattern. The pattern is so named because a ring of $9$ microtubule "triplets" are arranged at right angles to one another. Centrioles, found in animal cells, help to organize the assembly of microtubules during cell division. Centrioles replicate during the interphase stage of mitosis and meiosis
