Endocytosis is when the cell membrane engulfs a particle and brings it into the cell, forming a vesicle. Exocytosis is when particles are expelled, usually from the Golgi apparatus forming vesicles and having it fuse with the surface of the cell.

endocytosis is the process where substances are moved into the cell from the environment by phagocytosis (cellular eating) or pinocytosis (cellular drinking)

and exocytosis is the process where an intracellular vessicle fuses with the plasma membrane so that the vessicles contents are released outside of the cell
