DIAGRAMS: Golgi Complex PHOTOS
An eukaryotic organelle involved in the secretion of certain proteins.
cytoplasmic organelle consisting of four to eight flattened channels, stacked on each other, with expanded areas at their ends; functions in packaging secreted proteins, in lipid secretion, and in carbohydrate synthesis
a net-like structure in the cytoplasm of animal cells (especially in those cells that produce secretions)
network of vesicles preparing hormones and other products for secretion.
An organelle in animal cells composed of a series of flattened sacs that sort, chemically modify, and package proteins produced on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Processes and transports proteins and other materials out of the cell ( www.studyisland.com) The Golgi complex or Golgi apparatus is responsible for manufacturing, warehousing and shipping certain cellular products, particularly those from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Depending on the type of cell, there can be just a few complexes or there can be hundreds. Cells that specialize in secreting various substances typically have a high number of Golgi complexes. biology.about.com/library/weekly/aa042000a.htm
The Golgi complex refers to organelles in animal cells made up of a series of sacs that sort, modify, and package proteins produced on the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
