The process of engulfment of liquid by some animal cells.
The process by which ac ell surrounds and takes in fluid.
Engulfing process in which cells absorb or ingest nutrients and fluid before hydrolysis.
Process by which certain cells (e.g., some leukocytes) engulf and take in droplets of fluid.
A process wherein a cell engulfs liquid by encircling the substance, forming fluid-filled vesicles.
The process whereby cells take in fluids and change in form.
The intake of small droplets of fluid by a cell by cytoplasmic engulfment. It occurs in many white blood cells and in certain kidney and liver cells.
The process by which cells absorb or ingest nutrients and fluid. An invaginating portion of the cell membrane encircles the nutrient, enclosing it in a membrane-bound sac. The sac is brought into the cell and its contents are digested.
