A folded membranous structure inside the cell cytoplasm which stores and transports enzymes and hormones [Described 1898. After Camillo Golgi (1843-1926), Professor of Histology and later Rector of the University of Pavia, Italy. In 1906 he shared the Nobel Prize with Santiago Ramon y Cajal for work on the nervous system.]<\/p>\n
Small, membranous structure found in most cells that functions to store and transport proteins manufactured in other parts of the cell. The structure is usually well developed and abundant in cells that produce secretions (e.g., those in endocrine and exocrine glands). Also called Golgi body; Golgi complex.<\/p>\n
A collection of vesicles and folded membranes in a cell, usually connected to the endoplasmic reticulum. It stores and later transports the proteins manufactured in the endoplasmic reticulum. The Golgi apparatus is well developed in cells that produce secretions, e.g. pancreatic cells producing digestive enzymes.<\/p>\n
A lamellar membranous organelle in almost all cells, best viewed by electron microscopy. It contains curved parallel series of flattened sacs that are often expanded at their ends. In secretory cells, the apparatus concentrates and packages the secretory product. Its function in other cells, although apparently important, is poorly understood.<\/p>\n
