The four basic types locomotory movements seen in animals are:
1. Amoeboid movement: It is performed by pseudopodia, e.g. leucocytes.
2. Ciliary movement: It is performed by cilia, e.g. ciliated epithelium. In Paramoecium, cilia help in passage of food through cytopharynx.
3. Whirling movement: It is performed by flagella, e.g. sperms.
4. Muscular movement: It is performed by muscles, with the help of bones and joints.
