What is the difference between the manner in which movement takes place in a sensitive plant and the movement in our legs?

Difference between mannerism of movement in sensitive plants and hormonal movement in our legs is as follows:
| Movement in sensitive plants | Movement in our legs |
|---|---|
| In a sensitive plant like Mimosa pudica, movement happens in reaction to touch (stimulus). | Voluntary acts include movements of our legs. |
| Because plants lack specialised tissue for the transmission of impulses, information is conveyed from cell to cell via electrochemical signals. | These activities are consciously regulated since the signal or messages are sent to the brain. |
| Plant cells alter shape as the amount of water in them changes, allowing this movement to occur. | Some proteins are found in animal muscle cells that allow movement to occur. |
