Cytokinesis shape change occurs through the interfacing of three modules, cell mechanics, myosin II‐mediated contractile stress generation and sensing, and a control system of regulatory proteins, which together ensure flexibility and robustness. This integrated system then defines the stereotypical shape changes of successful cytokinesis, which occurs under a diversity of mechanical contexts and environmental conditions. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
