Embryology History - Camillo Golgi

Introduction

Camillo Golgi (1843 - 1926)

Camillo Golgi (1843 - 1926) was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (1906). The "Golgi apparatus", or simply the "Golgi", located in all cells bears his name.

The Journal of Comparative dedicated the Volume 30 (1919) to Camillo Golgi

Professor Of Pathology At The University Of Pa Via, Savant And Citizen. Guardian Of Public Health And Student Of Histology, To Whom The World Is Indebted For A Method Which Gave A Deeper Insight Into The Architecture Of The Central Nervous System —

This Volume Of The Journal Of Comparative Neurology Is Dedicated As A Token Of High Esteem For The Scientist And The Man Who, Honored And Full Of Years, Now Withdraws From His Professorial Responsibilities

Golgi Apparatus

The information below is some of our current knowledge of this organelle.

• cell organelle = membrane enclosed structural compartment
• cell may contain one or more Golgi apparatus
• located near the nucleus
• disc shaped membrane stack with different regions by their location within the cell

Golgi Structure	Stack Nomenclature	Golgi Functions
from 6-30/stack 3-100s stacks/cell many sets of membrane bound smooth surfaced cisternae	cis - bottom of stack closest to endoplasmic reticulum, receives transport vesicles from ER medial - middle of stack, processing of proteins, modification of sidechains trans - top of stack closest to plasma membrane, buds off secretory vesicles	Sorting of cytosolic/secreted proteins Glycosylation of secreted proteins Modification of carbohydrates Side chains are also trimmed Trans vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane
