Study Notes
Golgi Body
- The Golgi body is a flattened sac-like structure, also called cisternae, arranged in a stack.
- It is about 4 to 10 in number.
- The Golgi body has a curved face (forming face) and a flattened face (maturing face).
- The Golgi body has a size of 200-300Á.
- The Golgi body is a part of the endomembrane system.
- It is composed of vesicles.
Golgi Body Functions
- Cellular secretion: The Golgi body packages and modifies proteins and other molecules before sending them to other parts of the cell or outside the cell.
- Absorption, storage, and concentration of lipids, enzymes, and hormones.
- Formation of secretory vesicles.
- Formation of lysosomes.
