There are many different types of diffusion that occur in the body however in general they all are the process of a substance moving from an area of high concentration of that substance to and area of low concentration of that substance across a semi-permeable membrane such as the plasma membrane of cells. An example of where this happens is where Oxygen diffuses out of the blood and into the cells of the body lining the capillaries to provide oxygen for respiration.<span />

Nutka1998 [239]
THE STRUCTURE OF THE CELL MEMBRANE
the cell membrane is a thin layer of a partially permable membrane. That protects the cell's organelles and helps to maintain the shape of the cell.
WHAT MATERIALS ENTER OR LEAVE THE CELL MEMBRANE.
since the cell membrane is partially permable, that it only allows some materials to pass through it only nutrients that need to be metabolized or neede by the cell is allowed or permitted to go in the cell either by diffusion or osmosis.
HOW IE ONE METHOD DIFFRENT FROM THE OTHER?
since diffrent materials that go in the cell have different concentrations, sizes, and weights, the method by which they go into the cell will definately be diffrent materials with larger molecules use the osmosis method to go in the cell, while materials with smaller molecules use the diffusion method.
