Golgi body: Learn about the Golgi apparatus

Learn about the Golgi apparatus, an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells that packages proteins into vesicles for secretion. Discover its history, structure, function, and variations among different eukaryotes. The Golgi body is a cellular organelle found in most eukaryotic cells also known as Golgi complex, Golgi apparatus, lipochondrion, Barker's body , or Dalton complex. The Golgi apparatus, also called Golgi complex or Golgi body, is a membrane-bound organelle found in eukaryotic cells (cells with clearly defined nuclei) that is made up of a series of flattened stacked pouches called cisternae. The Golgi apparatus or the Golgi body or Golgi complex or simply Golgi is a cellular organelle present in most of the cells of the eukaryotic organisms . It is referred to as the manufacturing and the shipping center of the cell.
