GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Golgi apparatus, or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.

Detailed explanation-2: -COPII-coated vesicles transport cargo proteins from the ER to the Golgi; COPI-coated vesicles transport cargo in the retrograde direction (from the cis-Golgi back to the ER) and between Golgi cisternae; and clathrin-coated vesicles form from the plasma membrane and the TGN to fuse with endosomes or lysosomes (Fig. 1).

Detailed explanation-3: -A Golgi body, also known as a Golgi apparatus, is a cell organelle that helps process and package proteins and lipid molecules, especially proteins destined to be exported from the cell. Named after its discoverer, Camillo Golgi, the Golgi body appears as a series of stacked membranes.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the ER for storage in the cell or release outside the cell. From the Golgi apparatus, proteins are “shipped” to their final destination inside or outside the cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Golgi apparatus is the central organelle mediating protein and lipid transport within the eukaryotic cell.
