Why are there so many Golgi apparatuses in the human stomach?

The Golgi apparatus (also called Golgi complex) is an organelle of great importance in the processing of proteins to be secreted from the cell. Since cells of the stomach secrete a large volume of digestive proteins (eg, pepsinogen from gastric chief cells), they must have high secretory capacity. Having many Golgi complexes allows for this high capacity.
