  1. Movement is the different types of motions exhibited by living organisms.
  2. The different types of movements exhibited by the human body include:
  3. Muscular movement:
  • It is performed by the contraction and relaxation of muscles to perform movement or locomotion.
  • It is regulated by the motor neurons coordinating the activity.

Ciliary movement:

  1. It is performed by the cilia present in a respiratory and abdominal tract of ciliary epithelial cells.
  2. The sperm and egg cells also perform ciliary movement during fertilization and the menstrual cycle process.

Amoeboid movement:

  • It is performed by leucocytes, macrophages, and monocytes present in the bloodstream to engulf the matter.

Movement is a characteristic feature of living organisms. The different types of movement exhibited by cells of the human body are:
Amoeboid movement: Leucocytes present in the blood show amoeboid movement. During tissue damage, these blood cells move from the circulatory system towards the injury site to initiate an immune response.
Ciliary movement: Reproductive cells such as sperms and ova show ciliary movement. The passage of ova through the fallopian tube towards the uterus is facilitated by this movement.
Muscular movement: Muscle cells show muscular movement.
