The different ways which eukaryotic cell moves to different cytoskeletal filaments includes,

1. Cells crawl when basal body extends and protrude in certain direction which allows cells to move to given direction.

2. When myosin which are found in the filament contracts, the cells crawls then they pull the contents where cells expand edges.

3. Eukaryotic cells are allowed to swim with the motion of whipping of flagella.

4. Crawl by polymerization of actin. Here the cells are able to move by way of cytoskeletal filaments.
