Exocytosis and endocytosis are processes that occur through the formation of vesicles in the cell membrane that, depending on whether they enter or leave, allow the desired material to be dissolved in the cytoplasm or, on the contrary, in the environment .
What is exocytosis?
It is the expulsion , by cells, of particles that, due to their size, cannot pass through the cell membrane .
What is endocytosis?
It is the process by which cells incorporate within them molecules , large or small, which are covered by a vesicle that is detached towards the interior of the cell forming phagocytic vesicles .
Characteristics of exocytosis and endocytosis

Exocytosis is verified by the formation of a cytoplasmic outgrowth that ends up separating from the cell .

Several types of endocytosis mechanisms operate in biological systems, including phagocytosis , pinocytosis , and receptor-mediated endocytosis.


Therefore, we can conclude that in exocytosis , a cell expels waste substances or secretion products (such as hormones) and in endocytosis , the materials are incorporated into the cell .

Endocytosis is the process of bringing substances into a cell by engulfing them with the membrane, while exocytosis is the process of expelling substances from a cell by fusing vesicles with the membrane. Both processes are essential for cellular transport and require energy. Endocytosis includes types like phagocytosis and pinocytosis, while exocytosis facilitates the export of hormones, proteins, and waste products.
