Golgi apparatus
The Golgi consists of stacks of smooth, flattened membranous sacs (cisternae), usually located near the nucleus. Newly synthesized proteins are transferred from the RER by transport vesicles, which fuse with the forming, or cis, face of the Golgi. From there, proteins move through the mid-Golgi where they are modified, and eventually exit in vesicles from the maturing, or trans, face. The collection of these vesicles forms the trans-Golgi network along with microtubules for transport throughout the cell. 25,000x
