Scope note: Acto, proceso o resultado de pasar de un lugar o posición a otro. Difiere de la LOCOMOCIÓN en que en ésta se restringe al paso del cuerpo en su totalidad de un lugar a otro, mientras que el movimiento abarca tanto la locomoción como también un cambio de posición de la totalidad del cuerpo o de cualquiera de sus partes. Se puede utilizar el concepto de movimiento con referencia a los humanos, animales vertebrados e invertebrados y microorganismos. Se diferencia también de la ACTIVIDAD MOTORA, movimiento asociado con la conducta.

Scope note: The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior.
Annotation: LOCOMOTION; MOTION ( a concept of physics); and MOTOR ACTIVITY are also available; animal running in exercise wheel is probably MOTOR ACTIVITY or PHYSICAL EXERTION; NIM for microorganisms; movement of cells = CELL MOVEMENT
