Amoeboid Movement in Blood Cells — NEET Biology

📚 Practice Concept
📖 NCERT Source

Some specialised cells in our body like macrophages and leucocytes in blood exhibit amoeboid movement. It is effected by pseudopodia formed by the streaming of protoplasm (as in Amoeba). Cytoskeletal elements like microfilaments are also involved in amoeboid movement.
