How many types of movement can cells exhibit in the human body?

Cells in the human body exhibit different types of movement depending on their structure and function. There are three main types of movement that cells can exhibit. these are:

1. Amoeboid movement: This type of movement is observed in cells such as leukocytes and macrophages, which use cytoplasmic extensions called pseudopodia to move.
2. Ciliary movement: Certain cells, such as the epithelial cells lining the respiratory tract, have cilia on their surface that move in a coordinated manner to transport mucus and particles out of the respiratory tract.
3. Muscular movement: Muscle cells are specialized cells that can contract and relax, generating force and movement.
