Endocytosis and Exocytosis Endocytosis is when a material is taken through the membrane by folding inwards or basically it is moving things that are outside of the cell, into the cell by extending the membrane outwards and surrounding the food particle. (General Term) Exocytosis is the reverse of endocytosis. It is the discharge of the materials from the vesicles inside the cell, to the outside of the cell. Then the vesicle joins the cell membrane. There are three types of endocytosis: Pinocytosis ? the process of taking in something that is liquid. Phagocytosis ? the process of taking something that is rather solid like fragment of an organic sell. Receptor mediated endocytosis ? Taking in specific molecules such as Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) Receptor Mediated endocytosis
