Receptor-mediated endocytosis

A type of endocytosis where cells take in materials by binding them to specific receptors on their outer membrane.

Endocytosis

The process of taking substances into a cell by engulfing them in a vesicle.

Pinocytosis

A type of endocytosis that involves the uptake of small liquid droplets from the extracellular environment.

Phagocytosis

A type of endocytosis that involves the uptake of large particles (e.g., bacteria, viruses).
