 Camillo Golgi, who
identified it in 1898.
 Due to his ego, like Most
scientist, named it after
himself
 A group of flattened
cavities, is located near the
nucleus.(membrane bound)
 Called cisternae
 Normally 5-8 stacks
• Major regions
The cis-golgi
Medial-golgi
Trans-golgi
 In a cell
- Outside the nucleolus
- Floating in the
cytoplasm
- Near the E.R and
Nucleus
 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
 take enzymes and other proteins
that have been synthesised in
the endoplasmic reticulum and
package them into membranebound 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.
 Ill find them later and put it on here.
