Golgi Body (Apparatus)

Camillo Golgi, who identified it in 1898.

Due to his ego, like Most scientist, named it after himself

Discovery

A group of flattened cavities, is located near the nucleus.(membrane bound)Called cisternaeNormally 5-8 stacks

• Major regionsThe cis-golgiMedial-golgiTrans-golgi

Structure

In a cell- Outside the nucleolus- Floating in the

cytoplasm- Near the E.R and

Nucleus

Location

Called the mail office of the cell

First modification of lipids and proteins

Storage and packaging of materials that will be exported from the cell.

transport of lipids around the cell

Function

take enzymes and other proteins that have been synthesised in the endoplasmic reticulum and package them into membrane-bound vesicles. processing of proteins for

secretion. The appearance of the Golgi

Body is constantly changing as material comes in on one side from the ER and is lost from the other as completed vesicles ‘bud off’. Such vesicles transport materials to other parts of the cell, or fuse with the cell surface membrane, releasing their contents outside the cell.

Functioning

Ill find them later and put it on here.
