Abstract
Pinocytosis is a mechanism by which the majority of eukaiyotic cells internalize external fluid. However, endocytosis has come to be used synonymously with pinocytosis. When considering pinocytosis, it is important to distinguish between two types of uptake. One involves specific sites on the cell surface, as moiphologically or biochemically distinguished, where surface binding is important and the uptake may depend on special mechanism. The other involves a non selective uptake of solute molecules that take place by suiface vesiculation and engulfment of medium and does not seem to use specific binding sites (Van Deurs et al., 1990).
