Cellular migration

Cellular migration

Cellular migration is the movement of cells in the body to their proper position.

Purpose

During the Prenatal development, the basic structures for all organs in the body are created. However, the origin of every type of cell isn't always in the final location, and to reach this location, the cell migrates.

Examples

During Neural development, there is an extensive Neuronal Migration.
