During exocytosis, vesicles containing substances to be expelled from the cell merge with the cell membrane. This fusion occurs when specific proteins on the vesicle, known as v-SNAREs, interact with complementary proteins on the cell membrane, called t-SNAREs. This process allows the vesicle to release its contents outside the cell, facilitating communication and material transport.
