An organelle in eukaryotic cells containing cells consisting of stacks of membranes that modify, store, and route products of the endoplasmic reticulum.
a group of flattened sacs arranged like a stack of bowls that function to modify and package proteins and lipids into vesicles.
an organelle within eukaryotic cells comprised of a series of flattened sacs; the site of protein and lipid processing and packaging; also called Golgi bodies.
specialized membranes and sacs within the cytoplasm of cells that functions in the packaging of materials to be exported from the cell; for example, digestive enzymes produced by exocrine pancreas cells that are secreted into the intestine.
an organelle in the cytoplasm that packages proteins and carbohydrates into vesicles for export from the cell.
cellular organelle involved in posttranslational processing, the formation of lysosome and secretory vesicles, and the concentration and transport of cellular materials.
a cell organelle involved in protein packaging.
also called the Golgi complex in eukaryotic cells, a set of flattened discs, usually near the nucleus, involved in the processing and export of proteins.
A series of membrane-bound sacs in the eukaryotic cytoplasm. The Golgi apparatus takes proteins produced by the endoplasmic reticulum and packages and secretes them to various destinations inside and outside of the cell.
A meshwork of lipid containing fibrils within the cytoplasmic portion of a cell.
(goal´ jee) • A system of concentrically folded membranes found in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells. Plays a role in the production and release of secretory materials such as the digestive enzymes manufactured in the pancreas. First described by Camillo Golgi (1844-1926).
('gol-(")jE "a-p&-'ra-t&s) — Flat pancake-like sacs where protein molecules are sorted, changed, packaged and distributed throughout the cell.
(GOL-jee ahp'-ah-RAHT-uhs) A cellular organelle characterized by a series of flattened, hollow cisternae. It serves as a site of anabolic activities.
intracellular membrane trafficking organelle
A cellular organelle consisting of a series of membranous plates that give rise to lysosomes and secretory vesicles.
a net-like structure in the cytoplasm of animal cells (especially in those cells that produce secretions)
a membrane bound structure found within the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells which functions in protein synthesis.
Protein 'packaging plant' - A membrane structure found near nucleus - Composed of numerous layers forming a sac
multi-layered organelle near the nucleus used for packaging of materials to be transported out of the cell
An organelle composed of hollow curved sacs that modifies proteins and packages them into vesicles for the cell's highway system.
A complex cellular organelle consisting mainly of a number of flattened sacs and associated vesicles which is involved with the synthesis of glycoproteins, lypoproteins, membrane-bound proteins, and lysosoaml enzymes. The enzymes modify created proteins and other chemicals for use outside the cell. Once modified, they are transported by vesicles to the cell surface, the plasma membrane, where they are secreted into the outside environment.
Eukaryotic organelle which package cell products, such as enzymes and hormones, and coordinate their transport to the outside of the cell.
An organelle composed of membranous sacs that packages proteins into vesicles and sends them to the cell's surface or to lysosomes.
cytoplasmic organelle which is composed of flattened sacs resembling smooth endoplasmic reticulum. The sacs are often cup-shaped and located near the nucleus, the open side of the cup generally facing toward the cell surface. The function of the Golgi apparatus is to accept vesicles from the endoplasmic reticulum, to modify the contents, and to distribute the products to other parts of the cell or to the cellular environment.
a part of the cytoplasm of a cell that consists of parallel membranes without ribosomes and is active in the formation and secretion of cell products
The Golgi apparatus (also called the Golgi body, Golgi complex, or dictyosome) is an organelle found in typical eukaryotic cells. It was identified in 1898 by the Italian physician Camillo Golgi and was named after him. The primary function of the Golgi apparatus is to process and package macromolecules synthesised by the cell, primarily proteins and lipids.
