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. These vesicles, along with microtubules, form the trans-Golgi network. 40,000x

Centrioles >
Centrioles are composed of microtubules and are found in pairs, called the diplosome, near the trans face of the Golgi apparatus. Centrioles extend microtubules that transport the newly-formed vesicles throughout the cytoplasm.
