40 Cell migration/motility Questions How do cells initiate movement? What is the driving force for cell movement? How can directional cell locomotion be specified? Why do plasma membrane components move away from the direction of cellular movement? Cell locomotion is important for many processes: immunological tissue infiltration in inflammation and immunity, fertilization, embryological development, and tissue repair and turnover. The internal mechanisms can propel extracellular materials past cells in processes such as wound healing. Three types of cell motion can be described: random motion; chemokinesis, a non-directional increase in cell movement in response to a chemical stimulus; and chemotaxis, the purposeful movement towards or away from a chemical stimulus. Cilia and flagella in cell motility Only gold members can continue reading.
