emiocytosis[‚em·ē‚sī′tō·səs] (cell and molecular biology) Fusion of intracellular granules with the cell membrane, followed by discharge of the granules outside of the cell; applied chiefly to the mechanism of insulin secretion. Also known as reverse pinocytosis. emiocytosis
ex·o·cy·to·sis (ek'sō-sī-to'sis), 1. The appearance of migrating inflammatory cells in the epidermis. 2. The process whereby secretory granules or droplets are released from a cell; the membrane around the granule fuses with the cell membrane, which ruptures, and the secretion is discharged. Synonym(s): emeiocytosis, emiocytosis Compare: endocytosis. [exo- + G. kytos, cell, + -osis, condition] ex·o·cy·to·sis (eksō-sī-tōsis) 1.
