Golgi apparatus. An organelle, named after the Italian histologist Camillo Golgi, found in all eukaryotic cells but absent from prokaryotes such as bacteria. It consists of flattened membrane-bounded compartments known as cisternae. In most cells, the Golgi cisternae are organized into stacks.
It is a part of a complex internal sorting and distributing system in the cell. One of the most important functions of the Golgi apparatus is the formation of lysosomes (single membrane bounded organelles containing hydrolytic enzymes).The Golgi is made of stacks of membrane bound bodies known as the cisternae. In plant cells, these stacks are usually found as individuals, called dictyosomes.In one plant stack, there are about 4 to 8 cisternae and in the animal cell 40 to 100 per stack.he Golgi body receives proteins and amino acids from the Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) and packages them in vesicles and sends them out to other areas of the cell where they are needed. It is often called the processing center of the cell.
