Golgi Apparatus - The golgi apparatus is a membranous organelle found in the eucaryotic cells and consists of densely packed mass of flattened sacks and vessels of varying size. Its suggested functions are packaging of both proteinaceous and nonproteinaceous materials synthesised in the endoplasmic reticulum and their transport to other parts of the cell. Sometimes these structures merge with the ER and liberate their contents to the exterior of the cell, a process referred to as exocytosis.
