Key Points: Types of Movement

  • Human body cells show three types of movements: Amoeboid, Ciliary, and Muscular.
  • Amoeboid movement - caused by pseudopodia; involves microfilaments; seen in leucocytes and macrophages.
  • Ciliary movement - occurs in organs lined by ciliated epithelium; removes dust in the trachea; moves ova in the fallopian tube.
  • Muscular movement - due to the contractile property of muscles; seen in jaws, limbs, eyelids, alimentary canal, and ureters.
  • Muscular movement is used for locomotion and other movements in humans and most multicellular organisms.
  • Locomotion requires coordinated activity of muscular, skeletal, and neural systems.
