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)
