Movement Amoeboid

Amoeboid movement is a special type of cell movement in the body, which differs from other types of movements. This process is known as "amoeboid". The amoeboid form of cell movement occurs due to a change in the shape of the cell itself. This involves the formation of a temporary protoplasmic process - pseudopodia.

This type of movement is characteristic of the simplest organisms and some cells of higher development organisms. For example, this is how amoebas and eukaryotic cells move in the tissue of animal organisms. There are also cases where this form is characteristic of epithelial cells of multicellular organisms.

The essence of the Amoeboid movement is that the cell changes its shape, forming outgrowths characteristic of this type of movement - pseudopodium. These formations allow the cell to move and move around in its environment. Thanks to amoebas and some cells of higher organisms, movement in their environment is carried out quite quickly and efficiently.

Interestingly, this cell movement is known by different names. It can also be called movement from cells, where a clear difference from the usual properties of the shape of moving molecules is visible. In some cases, this type of movement even includes the movement of organelle cells, for example, leukocytes or red blood cells.
