Pseudopodia extend and contract by the reversible assembly of actin subunits into microfilaments. Filaments near the end interact with myosin which causes contraction. The pseudopodium extends itself until the actin reassembles itself into a network. This is how amoebas move, as well as some cells found in animals, such as white blood cells. read less
