Moving Cell
A general term for any cell that exhibits motility, actively changing its position or shape, a process essential for various biological functions like immune surveillance, wound healing, and development.
Key Functions:
- Undergoes active locomotion or shape changes.
- Essential for processes like immune cell trafficking, tissue development, and wound repair.
- Utilizes cytoskeletal components (actin, myosin) for movement.
Interacting Systems & Components:
- Actin (involved in movement)
- Myosin (involved in movement)
- Immune Cell (many types are motile)
- Wound Healing (involved in)
