Crawling of cells over a substratum is an example of _________________
A. chemotraction
B. neurodegenration
C. nonmuscle motility
D. muscular motility
This question was addressed to me during an internship interview.
Query is from Non-muscle Motility in division Cytoskeleton and Cell Motility of Cell Biology
The correct choice is C. nonmuscle motility
Easy explanation: Cells like fibroblasts and neuronal cells usually outgrow the specimen, when ultured over a substratum. This behavior is an exhibition of nonmuscle motility.
