Exocytosis is the cellular process in which intracellular vesicles in the cytoplasm fuse with the plasma membrane and release or "secrete" their contents into the extracellular space. Exocytosis can be constitutive (occurring all the time) or regulated. Constitutive exocytosis is important in transporting proteins like receptors that function in the plasma membrane. Regulated exocytosis is triggered when a cell receives a signal from the outside.
