  1. The Golgi Apparatus By: TJ McDonald and Max Kraynak

  2. The Golgi Apparatus

  3. What is The Golgi Apparatus • The Golgi apparatus is a membrane-bound structure with a single membrane. It is a stack of membrane bound vesicles that are important in packaging macromolecules for transport elsewhere in the cell. • The stack of larger vesicles is surrounded by numerous smaller vesicles containing those packaged macromolecules. The contents of lysosomes, peroxisomes and secretory vesicles are packaged in membrane bound vesicles at the periphery of the Golgi apparatus.

  4. Understanding The Golgi Apparatus • Imagine a giant shipping facility. Packages come in to it, they are sent down a line and are dropped in different bins. • These bins then are taken to a large truck that will deliver them to their final destination. • The shipping facility is the Golgi Apparatus itself. The packages are macromolecules inside of small vesicles. These vesicles are also the trucks that deliver the macromolecules to where they need to go.

  5. Discovering the Golgi • The existence of the cell organelle which is now known as Golgi apparatus or Golgi complex, or simply as 'the Golgi", was first reported by Camillo Golgi in 1898, when he described in nerve cells an 'internal reticular apparatus' impregnated by a variant of his chromoargentic staining.

  6. Discovering the Golgi 2 • It soon became clear that the newly-identified cytoplasmic structure occurred in a variety of cell types. However, the reality of the organelle was questioned for decades, until it was finally ascertained with electron microscopy. • The Golgi apparatus was destined to become a protagonist of the research in cytology and cell biology pursued in the second half of the twentieth century.

  7. Diseases • There are no known dangerous diseases of the Golgi Apparatus. However; the size of the Golgi Apparatus s being studided in Alzheimers Patients.
