There are three types of pathways: Caveolae are small invaginations of the cell's plasma membrane. Under the electron microscope, caveolae look to be flask-shape pits about 50-80 nm across.

Scanning electron micrograph of an "unroofed" cell showing the complexity of the actin cytoskeleton lying just beneath the plasma membrane. Actin filaments and even individual actin monomers can be ...
