2. Golgi Apparatus Discovered in 1898 by Camillo Golgi
Found in most eukaryotic cells
Located in both plant and animal cells

3. Functions
The Golgi apparatus is considered more or less the “postal office” of the cell.

4. Function
It handles all incoming lipids, proteins, and controls their export as well

5. Endoplasmic Reticulum and Golgi Apparatus
Sorts various proteins within the vesicles and helps them to be delivered throughout the cell via the endoplasmic reticulum.

6. Alzheimer’s Disease
Impairments in the axons and presynaptic terminals of a nerve can be caused by the disintegration of the Golgi.
The Golgi apparatus can be atrophic and fragmented.

7. Questions
Which part of the Golgi apparatus receives vesicles from the Endoplasmic reticulum?
Medial
Cis
Trans
Which of the following does not happen to the Golgi Apparatus as the result of Alzheimer’s Disease?
Atrophic
Fragmented
Enlarges the Golgi apparatus
