Biomembranes II:
Membrane Dynamics and Communication
Concept 2: Endocytosis and
Exocytosis
Endocytosis is the movement of materials into a cell via
membranous vesicles. Exocytosis is the movement of materials out of
a cell via membranous vesicles.

These processes allow patches of
membrane to flow from compartment to compartment, and require us to
think of a cell as a dynamic, rather than static, structure.
