Cell movement involves several key structures, primarily the cytoskeleton, which includes microfilaments, intermediate filaments, and microtubules. Actin filaments, a component of the cytoskeleton, play a crucial role in forming cellular protrusions like lamellipodia and filopodia that drive movement. Additionally, motor proteins such as myosin, kinesin, and dynein facilitate the transport of cellular components and contribute to the dynamic reorganization of the cytoskeleton during movement. Other structures, such as cilia and flagella, also aid in the locomotion of certain cells.
