| passive movement | Movement imparted to an organism or any of its parts by external agency; movement of any joint effected by the hand of another person, or by mechanical means, without participation of the subject himself. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cell movement | <cell biology> A more general term than locomotion, that can include shape change, cytoplasmic streaming etc. (26 Mar 1998) |
| resistive movement | In massage, a movement made by the patient against the efforts of the operator, or one forced by the operator against the resistance of the patient. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pendular movement | A to-and-fro movement of the intestine, without any propelling or peristaltic action, whereby the contents are churned and thoroughly mixed with the intestinal ferments. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gregarine movement | <biology, microbiology> Peculiar gliding movement shown by gregarines (Protozoa), the mechanism of which is poorly understood. (18 Nov 1997) |
| choreic movement | An involuntary spasmodic twitching or jerking in groups of muscles not associated in the production of definite purposeful movement's. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ciliary movement | The rhythmic, sweeping movement of epithelial cell cilia, of ciliate protozoans, or the sculling movement of flagella, effected possibly by the alternate contraction and relaxation of contractile threads (myoids) on one side of the cilium or flagellum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| circus movement | A contraction or excitation wave traveling continuously in circular fashion around a ring of muscle or through the wall of the heart. Synonym: circus rhythm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| molecular movement | Erratic, nondirectional, zigzag movement observed by ultramicroscope in certain colloidal solutions and by microscope in suspensions of light particulate matter that results from the jostling or bumping of the larger particles by the molecules in the suspending medium which are regarded as being in continuous motion. Synonym: brownian motion, brownian-Zsigmondy movement, molecular movement, pedesis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| morphogenetic movement | <embryology> Movements of cells or of groups of cells in the course of development. Thus the invagination of cells in gastrulation is one of the most dramatic of morphogenetic movements, another much studied example is the migration of neural crest cells. (21 Jun 2000) |
| movement | 1. The act of moving; change of place or posture; transference, by any means, from one situation to another; natural or appropriate motion; progress; advancement; as, the movement of an army in marching or manoeuvreing; the movement of a wheel or a machine; the party of movement. 2. Motion of the mind or feelings; emotion. 3. Manner or style of moving; as, a slow, or quick, or sudden, movement. 4. The rhythmical progression, pace, and tempo of a piece. "Any change of time is a change of movement." . One of the several strains or pieces, each complete in itself, with its own time and rhythm, which make up a larger work; as, the several movements of a suite or a symphony. 5. <mechanics> A system of mechanism for transmitting motion of a definite character, or for transforming motion; as, the wheelwork of a watch. <medicine> Febrille movement See Kinesiatrics. Movement of the bowels, an evacuation or stool; a passage or discharge. Synonym: Motion. Movement, Motion. Motion expresses a general idea of not being at rest; movement is oftener used to express a definite, regulated motion, especially. A progress. Origin: F. Mouvement. See Move, and cf. Moment.

| movement-related pain | <symptom> A type of breakthrough pain that is related to specific activity, such as eating, defecation, socialising or walking. Also referred to as incident pain. (16 Dec 1997) |
| conjugate movement of eyes | Rotation of the two eyes in the same direction. See: version. (05 Mar 2000) |
| contact inhibition of movement | Reaction in which the direction of motion of a cell is altered following collision with another cell. In heterologous contacts both cell may respond (mutual inhibition) or only one (nonreciprocal). Type I contact inhibition involves paralysis of the locomotory machinery, Type II is a consequence of adhesive preference for the substratum rather than the dorsal surface of the other cell.
