Locomotion and Movement MCQ

Locomotion and movement NEET questions focus on the relevant concepts as well as the details associated with it. Let us take a look at the ideas first.

What are Locomotion and Movement?

Locomotion and movement NEET syllabus cover these concepts and emphasises on the distinction of these two. 

Locomotion in human body is the directional movement enabling shifting from one location to another. Examples of locomotion in human body are walking and swimming. On the other hand, movement is the motion borne out of a combination of different body parts. One of the examples is movement in the joints such as stretching the arm from elbow.

The main difference is that there is displacement of whole body from one location in case of locomotion, but only body parts move from its initial position in movement.

Do You Know?

Locomotion is common in almost all animals. However, octopus and squids move rather curiously! Those move by way of jet propulsion. The tentacles with suckers also allow them quick escapades. 

The following locomotion and movement NEET MCQ will enhance your preparation.
