What type of movement occurs in cells like macrophages and...

Movement is one of the significant features of living beings.

Streaming of protoplasm in the unicellular organisms like Amoeba is a simple

form of movement.Movement of cilia, flagella and tentacles are shown by many organisms.

Animals perform locomotion for the search of food, shelter, mate, suitable breeding grounds, favourable climatic conditions or to escape from enemies/predators

Some specialised cells in our body like macrophages and leucocytes in blood exhibit amoeboid movement. Some specialised cells in the human body like macrophages and leukocytes in the blood exhibit amoeboid movement.The amoeboid movement of cells in the human body is affected by pseudopodia formed by the streaming of protoplasm and cytoskeletal elements like microfilaments are also involved in this movement.
