GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The Golgi apparatus is responsible for transporting, modifying, and packaging proteins and lipids into vesicles for delivery to targeted destinations. As the secretory proteins move through the Golgi apparatus, a number of chemical modifications may transpire.

Detailed explanation-2: -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. In addition, as noted earlier, glycolipids and sphingomyelin are synthesized within the Golgi.

Detailed explanation-3: -Products from the Golgi apparatus go to three main destinations: (1) inside the cell to lysosomes (2) the plasma membrane (3) outside the cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -A golgi body is a small organelle found in the cell that is responsible for the storage, modification and packing of products into invesicles. These products can then be released into the cell or transported elsewhere within the cell. Golgi bodies are involved in the formation of lysosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages different substances for secretion out of the cell, or for use within the cell. The Golgi apparatus is found close to the nucleus of the cell, where it modifies proteins that have been delivered in transport vesicles from the RER.
