Golgi apparatus
The Golgi consists of stacks of smooth, membranous sacs, 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. Proteins move through the Golgi, are modified, and eventually exit in vesicles derived from the maturing, or trans, face. 40,000x

Centrioles >
Centrioles are composed of microtubules and are found in pairs, called the diplosome, near the Golgi apparatus. These centrioles form microtubules that extend into the cytoplasm and serve as a transport pathway for the newly-formed vesicles.
