What is a real life example of a Golgi body?
What are diseases caused by Golgi apparatus?
- A terrible disease that the Golgi Body causes is Achondrogenesis which is a group of severe disorders that affect cartilage and bone development. There are three types of Achondrogenesis- Types IA, IB and II. All of these types are phenotypically similar and lethal. It is caused by a defect in the micro tubules of the Golgi Apparatus.
What does a Golgi apparatus look like?
- The Golgi apparatus, also called the Golgi complex, is commonly found in eukaryotic cells. The Golgi complex can be identified by its unique structure which some say looks like a maze, but in fact the structure is made of stacks of flattened membranous sacs, or cisternae.
What is the Golgi body responsible for?
- The Golgi apparatus, sometimes called the Golgi complex or Golgi body, is responsible for manufacturing, warehousing, and shipping certain cellular products, particularly those from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Depending on the type of cell, there can be just a few complexes or there can be hundreds.
