Pinocytosis is the engulfing of the extracellular fluid by cells. Or simple we could say that it is a "cell-drinking". -- Pinocytosis is a form of endocytosis in which small particles are brought into the cell suspended within small vesicles (pinocytotic vesicles) which subsequently fuse with lysosomes to hydrolyze, or to break down, the particles. This is important for the cell's absorption of extracellular fluids. Pinocytosis is a process that allows cells to take on hydration or other external substances.
