The four basic types locomotory movements seen in animals are: 

1. Amoeboid movement: It is performed by pseudopodia, e.g. leucocytes. 

2. Ciliary movement: It is performed by cilia, e.g. ciliated epithelium. In Paramoecium, cilia help in passage of food through cytopharynx.

3. Whirling movement: It is performed by flagella, e.g. sperms. 

4. Muscular movement: It is performed by muscles, with the help of bones and joints.
