Endocytosis is a process for moving items that are outside of the cell into the cytoplasm of the cell. Exocytosis is a process for moving items from the cytoplasm of the cell to the outside. Both endocytosis and exocytosis vary from the other forms of membrane transport, because materials do not cross through the lipid bilayer. Instead, items being moved into or out of the cell are engulfed by entire sections of the membrane lipid bilayer. They are being swallowed up or spit out by the membrane so to speak.
