Explanation

Lobopods: Short, blunt, thick, finger-like outgrowth of ectoplasm with an axial core of endoplasm, e.g. Amoeba. Filopods: Cylindrical thread-like, formed entirely of ectoplasm and radiate from the body in all directions, e.g. Radiolaria. Reticulopods: Filaments form a network of pods, e.g. Polystomella. Axopods: Long, stiff, semi-transparent extensions of cytoplasm with pointed distal ends, e.g. Actinophyrus.
