Cell communication 🧫 is necessary for the survival of the organism. Our student Isabel Hernández of the 1st course Double Degree in Pharmacy+Optics-optometry 👩🏻🔬👩🏻⚕️ create this post about Endocytosis and Exocytosis 🚅, two mechanisms of transport of substances necessary for the maintenance of the cell with the environment.
1️⃣ Endocytosis is the process by which cells capture 🧲 extracellular material, being Phagocytosis one specific endocytosis process that the body sometimes uses as a defence against infectious agents🦠 .
2️⃣ Exocytosis is the process of releasing substances into the extracellular medium 📤, mediated by the formation of vesicles from the Golgi apparatus.
In addition to these two processes, there is the 3️⃣ Transcytosis which is the transport of substance to both sides (for example, carried out by endothelial cells). To learn about the physiological 🔩 mechanisms by which these processes occur, I advise you to watch this video carefully 📹.
