Cytosis (as the biological suffix ‑cytosis) is used in words that describe either the quantity or condition of cells (e.g., leukocytosis, erythrocytosis) or processes that move material across cellular membranes. The three cellular transport processes are endocytosis (into the cell), exocytosis (out of the cell) and transcytosis (through the cell). Related endings include -osis (as in necrosis, apoptosis) and -esis (e.g., diapedesis, emperipolesis, cytokinesis).
