Amoeboid movement involves the reorganization of the cytoskeleton, particularly actin filaments. The process generally includes:
1. Protrusion: Extension of a pseudopodium towards a stimulus. 2. Adhesion: The pseudopodium attaches to a substrate through adhesion molecules. 3. Contraction: The cell body contracts, pulling itself forward. 4. Detachment: The rear of the cell detaches, completing the movement.
