✦ Synopsis

Shape and locomotion of tissue cells depend on the interaction of elements of the cytoskeleton, adhesion to the substrate and anintracellular hydrostatic pressure. The existence of this pressure becomes obvious from increase in cell volume on cessation of contractile forces and from observations with ultrasound acoustic microscopy. Wherever such an internal pressure is established, it is involved in generation of shape and driving force of cell locomotion. Therefore each hypothesis on cell shape and locomotion must consider this property of a living cell. Apparently different types of locomotion depend on differences in substrate adhesion and/or cytoskeleton organization.

## Abstract We investigated the role of myosin in polymorphonuclear leucocyte (PMN) shape changes, locomotion, and fluid pinocytosis using the myosin inhibitor 2,3 butanedione monoxime (BDM). Treatment of resting spherical PMNs with BDM produced spheroid cells showing small continuous shape changes
