What are Golgi complex?

In: Microbiology, Cells [Edit categories]

Answer:

Also called a Golgi Apparatus, Golgi Body or dictyosome. A special set of membranous sacs, which collects, modifies and distributes the substances made by the ER (e.g. proteins). The substances fill the sacs, which gradually swell up at their outside edges until pieces "pinch off". These pieces, called vesicles then travel out of the cell via the cytoplasm and cell membrane.
