Movement V/s Locomotion -

  • Movement is one of the significant features of living beings. 
  • Animals and plants exhibit a wide range of movements. 
  • Movement of cilia, flagella and tentacles are shown by many organisms.
  • Human beings can move limbs, jaws, eyelids, tongue, etc. 
  • Some of the movements result in a change of place or location. 
  • Such voluntary movements are called locomotion.
  • Walking, running, climbing, flying, and swimming are all some forms of locomotory movements. 
  • Locomotory structures need not be different from those affecting other types of movements.
  • For example, in Paramoecium, cilia help in the movement of food through cytopharynx and in locomotion as well. 
  • Hydra can use its tentacles for capturing its prey and also use them for locomotion. 
  • We use limbs for changes in body postures and locomotion as well. 
  • The above observations suggest that movements and locomotion cannot be studied
  • separately. 
  • The two may be linked by stating that all locomotions are movements but all movements are not locomotions.
  • Methods of locomotion performed by animals vary with their habitats and the demand of the situation. 
  • However, locomotion is generally for the search of food, shelter, mate, suitable breeding grounds, favourable climatic conditions or to escape from enemies/predators.
