The focal adhesion model for gliding motility. In this model, large focal adhesion complexes penetrate the cell envelope, stick to the substratum at one end, and connect to cytoskeletal filaments at the other end. Motor proteins push backward (marked by small arrows) against those focal adhesion complexes, pushing the cells forward.
