Amoeboid movements are formed by cytoplasmic movements as well as by the plasma membrane projections which is named as pseudopods. Their formation actively alters the external shape of the some portions of the cell surface production it move along the substratum. Pseudopods emerge from differences of the viscosity among neighboring regions of the cytoplasm near the plasma membrane and from contractile action of the microfilaments.

Amoeboid movements happen, for instance, in amoebas (or protozoan), organisms which use their movement to find out food. The leukocytes, cells of immune system, when attracted by the chemical substances (immune mediators) utilize amoeboid movements to acquire out from capillaries in regions of tissue harm to participate in inflammatory procedure.
