Introduction
(a) Cells can use their cytoskeleton as a road on which motor proteins move, often carrying intracellular cargo.
(b) Some cells move by pushing the cytoskeleton forward, much like a bulldozer pushes earth ahead.
(c) Movement sometimes resembles a tug-of-war, where motor proteins, depicted as people, can pull the cytoskeleton, symbolized by the rope.
Non-Muscular Movement
Protozoan protists move by means of
specific non-muscular structures.
Pseudopodia
Flagella
cilia
Non-Muscular Movement
Types of Non-Muscular Movement
Amoeboid Movement
Ciliary Movement
Types of Non-Muscular Movement
Amoeboid Movement
- was first observed in amoeba
-amoeba moves with the help of
pseudopodia that means false foot
Types of Non-Muscular Movement
Amoeboid Movement
The plasma membrane of an
amoeba has adhesive
properties since new
pseudopodia attach to the
substrate as they form.
Mechanism of Amoeboid Movement
