IT has become customary in studies of the nerve cell by electron microscopy to apply the term ‘Golgi apparatus’ to appearances suggesting membranes, granules, or vacuoles 1. In size, general ...

IT was pointed out previously that in the unstained living human spermatid the Golgi apparatus is sometimes discernible with bright-ground illumination, as an area slightly differing in refractive ...

Our understanding of the biological cell has come a long way since Robert Hooke first saw it under the microscope in 1665, and most of this rapid progress has been in the past 150 years. Before then, ...

Researchers have provided a surprisingly simple explanation for the mechanism and features of the "Golgi apparatus" -- a structure that has baffled generations of scientists. The new model developed ...

Neurons are the cells that constitute neural circuits and use chemicals and electricity to receive and send messages that allow the body to do everything, including thinking, sensing, moving, and more ...

Our cells have specialized parts called organelles, and scientists have learned more about one of them, the Golgi apparatus. It is made up of a series of pouches, and because it is responsible for ...

The Golgi body (or Golgi complex, apparatus), and Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) are both organelles found in the majority of eukaryotic cells. They are very closely associated and show both similarities ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Adult vertebrate retinal cells (rod and cones) continuously synthesize membrane proteins and transport them to the organelle specialized for ...
