Ngokomchazampilo wengqamuzana,Ingqimbazana ibizo elibhekisela kuzo zonke izithako ezingaphakathikwengqamuzanalemvelendeni, elingungweulwelwesi lwengqamuzana, ngaphandle kwendeni yengqamuzana. Izithako ezingaphakathi kwendeni neziqukethwe ulwelwesi lwendeni zona zibizwa ngokuthi isicabandeni(nucleoplasm). Izigcoyi eziyinhloko zengqimbazana ziyintikicana(cytosol) (isiqa esintikintiki),izithokazane(organelles) (izinhlaka zengqamuzana ezingaphakathi), kanye nezinye izithako ezakha ingqamuzana. Ingqimbazana ngokwayo ingamanzi angama-80 ekhulwini futhi imvama ayinambala. Imisebenzi eminingi ebalulekile yengqamuzana yenzeka kwizithokazane, ezifana nezinsimbi zenguxa yokwenza imisebenzi eminingi.
Intikicana iqukethe ingxube eyinkimbinkimbi yemicuyesixhakangqamu, kufaka phakathii-endoplasmic reticulum kanye nezintozikaGolgi. Kubandakanyanemizwayi encibilikisiwe, namanzi agcwalisa ingxenye enkulu yengqamuzana. Ngenxa yalolu xhoxho lwemicu, ulwelwesi nemizwayikhulu emaningi encibilikile njengezakhamzimba,intikicana ayisebenzi njengoketshezi olulula. Umsebenzi oyinhloko wengqimbazana ukubamba izithokazane endaweni.
