• Vesicles are small parts of membrane with some component inside of it. • Vesicles can leave the cell through exocytosis or can enter the cell through endocytosis. • Clathrin is involved in the making of many vesicles on the cell surface. • In nerve cells, the neurotransmitter is in vesicles that get released in the active zone of the nerve cell. • In endocytosis, the vesicles go to early and late endosomes and finally to the highly acidic lysosome, where things are hydrolyzed and broken down.
