Locomotion Flashcards
Examples of pseudopodial movement
Amoeba, WBCs, Macrophages
hair like projections of the specialised cells
cilia
how is cilia helping in the movement
it has oar like activity creating a water current which helps in the movement of various structures
tubular structures like reproductive tract and respiratory tracts are lined with what epithelium
Ciliated
what helps in the passage of the ova in oviduct cilia
motive force
outgrowth of cell membrane
cilia and flagella
use of flagellar movement
swimming of spermatozoa, maintenance of water current in canal system, locomotion in spermatazoa
cilia is used by paramecium for
locomotion and ingestion
6 functions of locomotion
1) food
2) building shelters
3) protection from predators
4) migration
5) searching breeding ground
6) finding a mate
muscles originate from which germ layer
mesoderm
muscular tissues have specialized cells called
myocytes
these myocytes are bound together to form
connective tissue and also form muscular tissue
no of muscles in our body
689 muscles
unique properties of the muscles are
contractibility, excitability, elasticity and extensibility
muscles form ________ % of body weight
40 - 50
