2. The materials from the cells are released in form of vesicles.
3. This process helps in the removal of cellular waste from the cell outside.

Types of exocytosis:

1. Constitutive exocytosis: Exocytosis which requires no signal is required for releasing the secretory materials outside the cell and is called constitutive exocytosis.
2. Regulated exocytosis: The exocytosis which requires an external signal for releasing secretory materials outside the cell is called regulated exocytosis.
