In cellular biology, pinocytosis is a mode of endocytosis in which small particles are brought into the cell, forming an invagination, and then suspended within small vesicles. These pinocytotic vesicles subsequently fuse with lysosomes to hydrolyze (break down) the particles. This process requires a lot of energy in the form of adenosine triphosp...

An amoeba showing pinocytosis The process by which a cell takes in extracellular fluid by the invagination of the cell membrane. The pocket then pinches off to form a vesicle, which subsequently ruptures, releasing its contents into the cytosol. Pinocytosis ('cell drinking') is a form of endocyt...

Uptake of fluid filled vesicles into cells (endocytosis). Macro pinocytosis and micro pinocytosis are distinct processes, the latter being energy independent and involving the formation of receptor ligand clusters on the outside of the plasma membrane and clathrin on the cytoplasmic face. ...

Type: Term Pronunciation: pin′ō-sī-tō′sis, pī′nō- Definitions: 1. The cellular process of actively engulfing liquid, a phenomenon in which minute incuppings or invaginations are formed in the surface of the cell membrane and close to form fluid-filled vesicles; it resembles phagocytosis.

Pinocytosis: A cellular process that permits the active transport of fluid from outside the cell through the membrane surrounding the cell into the inside of the cell. In pinocytosis, tiny incuppings called caveolae (little caves) in the surface of the cell close and then pinch off to form pinosomes, little fluid-filled bubbles, that are free withi...

(pin;uo-si-to;sis) Cell drinking; invagination of the cell membrane forming narrow channels that pinch off into vacuoles. This allows for cellular intake of extracellular fluid and dissolved molecules.
